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 and 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)
