The Naked Flame was a comic published in the Doctor Who Yearbook 1995. It featured the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith.
Summary
The Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith materialise on the planet Vortis. Following the destruction of the Animus, Vortis has regenerated and the flower forests now once more bloom. A survey team of the winged Menoptera have disappeared while investigating the appearance of strange energy emissions. The only survivor, the wingless Jresta, takes the Doctor and Sarah to a large crystal in a forest clearing, but can't remember what happened after her team discovered it. A follow-up expedition arrives led by a hostile male Menoptera named Versus, who looks down on Jresta for her deformity.
Versus orders one of his team to break off part of the crystal for analysis, ignoring the warnings of Jresta and the Doctor. The crystal glows with light. It mesmerises the Menoptera and causes them to fly into the energy web, where they are consumed; Jresta only survives because she can't fly and Versus is saved when the Doctor knocks him unconscious. The Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to generate a resonance pattern which shatters the crystalline entity and saves Vortis once again.
