The Night Walkers is a story published in TV Comic featuring the Second Doctor. It is considered to be the conclusion of Season 6B. Published in three parts from 8-22 November 1969, it is the last TV Comic story to feature the Second Doctor and the very last adventure of this incarnation.
Summary
The Doctor, has become a celebrity in the early days of his Time Lord-imposed exile on Earth. He is a panellist on the game show Explain My Mystery. One mystery, a strange case of scarecrows who walk at night, stumps the Doctor. Intrigued, he goes to explore the farmer's land at night. When he does, the scarecrows capture him and reveal they were sent by the Time Lords to begin the second phase of the Doctor's sentence.
Grabbing the Doctor, they head for the TARDIS. Once inside, they force his regenerative cycle and set the TARDIS controls to dematerialise. They leave the TARDIS to land . . . somewhere else on Earth.

Continuity
Published six weeks before DW: Spearhead from Space began, The Night Walkers is the only published comic strip to depict the actual moment of regeneration for a televised Doctor; Part Three, published 22 November 1969, not only showed the end of the Second Doctor's life but also brought to a close the "third phase" of Second Doctor comic strips.
Begun in TVC: Action in Exile, the era had given readers tales of a companion-less Second Doctor enjoying his exile on Earth. Rather than living in UNIT obscurity, as the Third Doctor's televised exile showed, the Second Doctor's comic exile was one of fame and luxury in the Carlton Grange Hotel.
