Lizardworld was a TV Comic story featuring Dr. Who, John and Gillian.

Summary

The TARDIS deposits its travellers on a hostile rock strewn world where a race of giant lizards captures them, trapping the three atop a spar like crag from which there is no way down. But, with his talent for hypnosis, the First Doctor finds the lizard's humped back makes an effective ladder.
