Warlord of the Ogrons	Abslom Daak... Dalek Killer

Deathworld was a backup comic story published in Doctor Who Weekly Issues 15-16.

Summary

After detecting traces of trisilicate on the planet Yama-10, a survey team of Ice Warriors land and start to clear the ground for mining. The Cybermen and their Cybermats also arrive and claim the planet. Taking their battle to the Polar Caps, where both sides are more equally matched, they battle. The Polar Caps melt and the Cybermen are destroyed by the melted ice, while the Ice Warriors are entombed in the ice — at least until the spring thaw.

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
