The Dalek Chronicles Found! was a short prose story original to DWMS The Dalek Chronicles. Similar to the earlier and more fleshed-out comic story The Dalek Tapes, its purpose was to present an in-universe framing for the reprinting of The Dalek Chronicles; the Dalek Chronicles in question were, this time, presented as rare story-cubes which were finally being brought to Earth in the year 2094. The story was itself framed as a news article from that year accompanying the release of the Chronicles.
Summary
In 2094, long-lost alien story-cubes, which had first been found on Earth in the Sixties, have been recovered in their entirety. Visualised and translated by a variety of historians, they are now, at long last, released for the public's appreciation.
Characters
References
- Fragments of the story-cubes are said to have frequently made their way to private collections. Some of the original translations were first printed in a magazine.
Notes
- All the historians and translators who are said to have worked on translating the Dalek Chronicles are named for the comic writers and artists who authored The Dalek Chronicles in the real world: David Whitaker, Alan Fennell, Richard Jennings, Ron Turner and Eric Eden.
- The story is formatted as the front cover of an in-universe periodical and bears the description "No. 1 UNIVERSE EDITION", just like the original TV Century 21 cover stories advertising The Daleks.
- The photograph used to illustrate the article was actually taken from Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. rather than a televised story, as evidenced by the depicted Silver Daleks' enlarged, blue luminosity dischargers.
Continuity
- One of the story-cubes details the origin of "Skaro's most ruthless sons" (COMIC: Genesis of Evil) while another deals with the Daleks' introduction to the Mechonoids (COMIC: Eve of War) and yet another with the Archives of Phryne. (COMIC: The Archives of Phryne)
- These accounts of the Daleks were originally published in TV 21 magazine in the Sixties. (PROSE: Fireball Surrenders!, et al.)
