'''''Who's That Girl?''''' was the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' back-up strip which appeared in the pages of ''[[The Incredible Hulk Presents]]'' #8-9.  Like all in the series, it was monochromatic and featured the [[Seventh Doctor]] travelling alone at the beginning and ending of the story.

Aside from a few [[Second Doctor]] stories that were set in [[Season 6b]], this story was unusual for being one of the only stories in any medium to depict the Doctor as voluntarily being an agent of the [[Time Lord]]s.  Here he's effectively the Time Lords' representative at a political conference.

* This story contained a gag later used in the parody ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death]]''.  It's briefly suggested that the Doctor's apparent change of gender could lead to romantic relationships not possible had the Doctor remained male.
