The Big Tip-Off! was a Department S comic printed in TV Century 21 in 1969.

The location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks story Duel of the Daleks, was referenced in a "Stop Press" panel integrated into the middle of the story, thus making it a crossover with the Doctor Who universe. The Daleks itself had previously utilised a similar format to regularly cross over with such series as Stingray and Thunderbirds.
