'''''On the Web Planet''''', also known as '''''Doctor Who on the Web Planet''''' and '''''Doctor Who and the Zarbi on the Web Planet''''', was a ''[[TV Comic]]'' story featuring the [[First Doctor]], [[John Who|John]] and [[Gillian Who|Gillian]]. Notably, it was the only TVC First Doctor story to be given an official title, due to the previous story's preview, as all other titles were invented later by comic strip historians. ([[DWCC 1]]) | |||
