Daleks: The Ultimate Comic Strip Collection

Product Information

Although TV Comic included a Doctor Who strip from 1964, City Magazines' TV Century 21 title held the rights to use the Daleks in comic strip form until 1966. Consequently, the Daleks were absent from TV Comic until the January 1967 story 'The Trodos Ambush'. Subsequently, the rights passed to Countdown / TV Action from 1971 to 1973, returning once again to TV Comic between 1974 and 1977. [3]

Plague of Death – Issues 33–39 (4 September 1965 – 16 October 1965) Writer: David Whitaker. Artist: Richard Jennings. Text stories with illustrations: The Doomsday Machine, Report from an Unknown Planet, The Fugitive. Financial problems resulted in Marvel's Doctor Who Weekly becoming a monthly publication from September 1980. Several title variations were used before Doctor Who Magazine was finally settled upon in 1985. Comic strips were retained as a regular feature, with the Daleks making an appearance at irregular intervals. Release was originally scheduled for September 2009, with publicity artwork indicating that it was to be a Tenth Doctor story. When finally published three years later the story and artwork had been revised to feature the Eleventh Doctor. The delay in publication was due to similarities with the storyline of the Doctor Who episode " Victory of the Daleks" (2010).

Six comic strips, four illustrated text stories, one photo story and seven features. One of the earliest items of Dalek merchandise. The photo story utilises selected stills from the 1963–64 Doctor Who serial, The Daleks, to relate an original account of an unaccompanied Susan Foreman meeting the Daleks, whilst the features include a game, a cutaway drawing of the interior of a Dalek and a map of Skaro.

With regards to Who one company makes me laugh is Big Finish. I love there stuff and really don’t mind paying a good price for it. But the sheer volume of content they produce is crazy. There’s not enough hours in a life to listen to half there stuff, unless you are such a Who fanatic you listen to it in the shower and whilst asleep and are retired with no grandkids or other hobbies. They have diluted the rarity pleasure of Who in flooding content. Content that they can’t develop with depth because they can’t take the Who character any where. I don’t know what profits they make but it’s hard to not think they might be exploiting hardcore Who fans just a little. The original Marvel studios you may say. One comic strip, two illustrated text stories (being abridged versions of the Planet of the Daleks and Genesis of the Daleks Doctor Who TV serial novelisations) and six features. The last frame of the comic strip is a pictorial puzzle for the reader to solve.
