War World! was the Doctor Who back-up strip which appeared in the pages of The Incredible Hulk Presents #4. Like all in the series, it was monochromatic and featured the Seventh Doctor travelling alone at the beginning and end of the story.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Landing on a war torn planet, the Doctor discovers that the combatants aren't who they appear to be.

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Seventh Doctor lands in the middle of a war between humans and robots on the planet Bellus IV. The human commander, Deldran, quickly takes him to the human headquarters. There, the remains of a great experiment to simply turn off the robots has been halted by the death of the chief scientist. The Doctor finishes the work, flips the switch — and promptly discovers that the "human" side are robots, too.

As he powers down for good, Deldran explains that the humans died ages ago, leaving the war running by robot proxy. When Deldran uses his last bit of power to explain that the robots wouldn't have known what to do with peace, the Doctor echoes the sentiment. He wonders if anyone is really built for peace.
