Mars
- The Sol system planet Mars is home to the Mars Bubble, a hundred-mile-wide atmospheric pocket capable of sustaining life and one of the natural wonders of the universe. Located within the bubble live the surviving native Martians and the Martian Sphinx.
Species
- Martians are small, telepathic, hairless humanoid creatures with large eyes, no mouth or nose.
Weapons
- The Martian Sphinx is the ultimate weapon of war, a giant robot with formidable firepower.
Susan
- Susan, Dr. Who's granddaughter, helped revive the Martian Sphinx with her understanding of the hieroglyphs found in the cave system below the surface of the planet.
Notes
- This comic strip is "In memory of Peter Cushing OBE. 26th May 1911 - 11th August 1994". In reality, however, Cushing was born on 26 May 1913.
- As in the movies, the Doctor is referred to as "Dr. Who" and the TARDIS as simply Tardis.
- This occurs before the Daleks' successful invasion of Earth. (NOTDWU: Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.)
