EP1 Genesis of Evil Oct 10, 2004

For centuries, war has raged on Skaro between the Dals and the Thals, but Dal War Minister Zolfian and Chief Scientist Yarvelling have devised a scheme to rid themselves of the Thals for all time. They plan to detonate neutron bombs and mop up any survivors with an army of deadly robots. However, nature conspires against them and it looks like all life could be wiped from the face of Skaro. What could survive such a devastating explosion?

EP2 Duel of the Daleks Oct 10, 2004

Zeg is a lowly Dalek worker in the inventions factory, until his casing is transformed into an almost indestructible alloy. Filled with a sense of his own power, he challenges the Emperor's authority. The only solution is to pit Zeg's strength against the Emperor's brains in a deadly duel out in the wastelands of Skaro.

EP3 The Amaryll Challenge Dec 12, 2004

The fourth story, The Amaryll Challenge, details the Daleks first journey into space and their first landing on a new world. Unfortunately, they don't impress the local intelligent plant life of the planet Alvega quite as they had hoped. Did you expect anything else?

EP4 Power Play Jan 18, 2005

Power Play sees alien slave traders arrive on Skaro, but the Daleks have their sites set on the traders' spaceship. With rebellion brewing amongst the slaves and the Emperor plotting behind the scenes, can anything stop the Daleks from mastering the secrets of space flight and conquering the galaxy?

EP5 Plague of Death Mar 27, 2005

The fifth instalment of The Dalek Chronicles sees the Daleks returning to Skaro to combat a deadly cloud of rust that threatens to destroy their entire race. Not one of the better known stories in the sequence, and possibly one of the most underrated, this tale introduces us to the Dalek hoverbouts and shows us more of the Black Dalek, who was first introduced in Duel of the Daleks.

EP6 The Pentaray Factor Jun 19, 2005

In the sixth story, the Daleks land on the planet Solturis declaring peace and friendship. It's an unlikely claim, but the locals have no reason to disbelieve - apart from old Lurr, who has seen a vision of the future showing destruction and slavery beneath the Daleks. But who will listen to his claims?

EP7 The Menace of the Monstrons Sep 02, 2005

The seventh instalment of The Dalek Chronicles sees the Daleks getting well and truly pasted by the Monstrons. The Monstrons totally destroy the Daleks' city and nearly wipe out the Dalek race - not bad considering there are only two of them, and an army of their distinctly retro-looking Engibrain robots. This strip marked the last full outing for strip artist Richard Jennings who was replaced by Ron Turner part way through the next strip Eve of the War.

EP8 Eve of the War Apr 08, 2006

Eve of the War sees the Daleks coming up against the cunning Mechanoids for the first time as the Daleks’ expanding empire encroaches on Mechanoid space.

EP9 The Archives of Phryne Jul 09, 2006

As the Daleks search for new weapons to defeat the Mechanoids, they happen upon a lone satellite hanging in the void. The Saucer Commander is suspicious and soon realises that the rest of the solar system is hidden by an invisible barrier. And the inhabitants of the planet Phryne have good reason to hide from the Daleks: they carry the secrets and histories of one hundred planets, knowledge that the Daleks would wipe out a world to obtain

EP10 Rogue Planet Apr 01, 2007

With war between the Daleks and the Mechanoids looking ever more likely, the Daleks encounter a new threat to their safety as a rogue planet is formed deep in space. The new world, which the Daleks christen Skardel is soon heading straight for Skaro, and it seems that nothing can stop it. If it strikes, then all life on Skaro will be obliterated, but can the Emperor devise a plan to turn this situation to his advantage?

EP11 Impasse Jul 01, 2007

As war between the Daleks and the Mechanoids draws ever closer, a third party decides to take matters into their own hands. The Zerovians dispatch robot agent 2K first to Skaro and then to Mechanus to stop the war at any cost. But is a robot enough to outwit the might of both the Daleks and the Mechanoids? And can he prevent a terrifying war in space that could destroy millions of innocent lives?

Synopsis

On 23rd January 1965, the Daleks made their first appearance in their own full colour comic strip on the back page of the lavish new children's weekly comic TV Century 21. Written largely by David Whitaker, who was the series' original script editor, and illustrated by such legendary comic strip artists as Richard Jennings, Ron Turner and Eric Eden, this popular one-page strip ran for 104 instalments, and finally concluded on the brink of the Daleks' planned attack on the inhabitants of Earth. These strips have been reprinted many times in Dalek Annuals and other Doctor Who-related books, plus Doctor Who Weekly, Doctor Who Monthly and Doctor Who Classic Comics, as well as being issued complete and in colour as a special edition magazine. Because of the difference between a comic strip and a video feature, a certain amount of adaptation was inevitable. If the stories had been transferred exactly as written, then each one would have lasted only about five minutes and been so breathlessly fast-paced as to be virtually incomprehensible. However, so, the adaptations where made as sympathetic to the source material as possible, expanding the original story only in the name of atmosphere, deeper characterisation and the occasional crowd-pleasing reference or in-joke. If the strip contradicts information contained in the TV series (and it does), then that contradiction remained and no attempt was made to reconcile the two... Equally, no matter how bad, embarrassing or unDalek-like a line of dialogue may be, it remained as it featured in the original strip. Added to this, wherever possible the animations and stills where based on the key frames from the strip and all design was based on the images seen in those panels. The aim was to bring the strips to life, not change them into something else. The adaptations were released on VCD between 2004 and 2011
