The Iron Legion

The Iron Legion was a Doctor Who comic strip by Pat Mills and Dave Gibbons which ran in the first eight issues of Marvel UK's Doctor Who Weekly from 17th October to 5th December 1979. It saw The Doctor arrive on an alternate Earth where, thanks to the interference of the demonic alien Malevilus, the Roman Empire has conquered the world with its robot Legionnaires (under the control of General Ironicus) and continued into the 20th century. The Doctor recruits cyborg slave Morris and ancient robot Vesuvius to help him overthrow the creatures. John Wagner was co-credited as writer, but the bulk of the writing on this story was by Pat Mills.
