Ice Cap Terror (comic story)

Ice Cap Terror was a TV Comic story featuring the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon.
It was significant to the continuity established by Polystyle in that it was the first time that the Second Doctor was seen addressing modern-day Earth via the mass media. The Doctor's televised broadcast to the world in the final panel established him as a well-known figure on mid-20th century Earth — something that would be continued throughout the remainder of the run.

== Notes ==
* Following TV Comic's negotiations with BBC Enterprises which resulted in the use of Jamie McCrimmon and Quarks in the comics, this story was originally to feature the Robot Yeti. However, following Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln's disappointment in TV Comic not seeking their permission in the use of Quarks in Invasion of the Quarks, the Yeti in Ice Cap Terror were replaced with Ice Apes. (DWCC 17)
* The fact that the Doctor addresses the whole world on television in this story informs the final episode of The War Games, where the Second Doctor claims to be "known on the Earth", when his televised run has him meeting only a handful of modern-day residents of Earth.
