The Plant Master (comic story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The Plant Master is the ex post facto title of the Third Doctor comic story in the 1972 Countdown Annual. 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 confirmed by John Ainsworth in his then-comprehensive listing of Third Doctor strips in DWCC #4.
Summary
After materialising in the path of a motorbike rider, the Doctor becomes involved in a local mystery involving a mad professor and an rather intelligent plant.

Notes
- Though this story's publication predates The Three Doctors, the Third Doctor is not depicted as being exiled on Earth, having complete use of the TARDIS and even shown executing some "short hop" precision flights. The Doctor's exile being more of a suggestion than an established fact is, however, in line with how it was depicted in Countdown/TV Action.
