Story notes

- Like most of TV Century 21's The Daleks comic stories from the same era, this comic serial was not given a title in the pages of TV Century 21 during its original printing; the title instead comes from later reference sources.
Continuity

- Scientists at the Naples Laboratory of Seismographic Studies predicted the impending eruption of Vesuvius. (COMIC: Power Play)
