Lunar Lagoon is a comic strip story from Doctor Who Monthly in issues 76-77 in April-May 1983.
Featuring the Fifth Doctor.
Written by Steve Parkhouse with art by Mick Austin.
This is a fan-made presentation of the story as noted by TARDIS Wiki:
The story is set in 1963.
As noted in TARDIS Wiki:
"Despite the title, Lunar Lagoon has nothing to do with the moon and does not feature a lagoon. It is possible, although highly figurative, that the titular "lunar lagoon" refers to a singular scene in the story. Fuji gazes out at a moonlit river and rekindles memories of "the boats, nets and coral reefs" found not far from his home in Okinawa."
The Doctor is fishing on of a beach of an island in Pacific Ocean when he meets the said Fuji, a Japanese soldier and the Doctor realises he is on a parallel universe in which World War II hasn't ended.
What develops is a moving and not an easy story to absorb made all the more so by a resolution that was made in spite of the Doctor's good intentions.
It is a fascinating but as I have said not an easy story to absorb.
