The 1979 Annual featuring the Fourth Doctor is on The Armageddon Factor DVD included in The Key To Time R2/R4 set.

Famine on Planet X:
First story.
The Doctor and Leela arrived on Planet X inhabited by octopoid like creature.
Quite an enjoyable story as the Doctor solves the octopoids' famine problems.

The Planet of Dust:
Second story.
The Doctor and Leela visits the planet of the title where they meet an alien who wants to turn the planet's plants the ability to walk and talk.
As the Doctor and Leela finds out the alien's intentions for the plants is not as altrusitic as it appears.
Very good the way the Doctor solves the problem here.

Terror on Tantalogus:
Third story.
The Doctor and Leela makes a disturbing discovery of the terror from the Tantalogans.
Very thrilling at the end when the Doctor and Leela runs away from the Tantalogans.

The Power:
Fourth story.
A comic strip which sees the Doctor and Leela attend a coronation but it got disrupted by an attempted takeover by an adversary.
The Doctor helps out in defeating the enemy by using the Power of the title in this enjoyable comic strip.

Flashback:
Fifth story.
The Doctor and Leela visits Pendor hoping to catch up on the Doctor's old friends when they find them mesmerised by a master criminal.
Skeeda is a very good villain and very good what the Doctor does with him when he defeats him.

Emsome’s Castle:
Sixth story.
A comic strip on the planet Zorka, the Doctor and Leela encounter a powerful mystic called Emsome.
The story feels like The Brain of Morbius it even has a mental duel between the Doctor and Zorka but it still enjoyable in its own way.

The Crocodiles From the Mist:
Final story.
The Doctor and Leela arrived on a planet in which they help out the creatures of the title.
Quite funny when Leela mispronounced 'skilts' as 'kilts' and the Doctor telling her not to let a Scotsman hear her pronounciation of the word.
Also funny with the ending of the story.
