Assassin from Space is the invented title of the first of two Third Doctor comic stories in the 1970 TV Comic Holiday Special. Like many pre-Marvel comic strips, it had no title on first publication. The name gained traction after being used by Jean-Marc Lofficier in The Terrestrial Index and later by John Ainsworth in his then-comprehensive listing of third Doctor strips in DWCC 4.
