- You may be looking for the television story.
The Planet of the Daleks was a Third Doctor comic story published in TV Action.
Summary
After the Doctor's latest victory over them, the Daleks are out for revenge! They've set a trap for the Doctor and plan to make him into what he despises most: one of them!
Characters
References
- The Daleks have dinosaur-like creatures on the planet of their base-of-operations.
- The Doctor believes that plunging the TARDIS into the heart of a sun will kill everyone onboard.
Notes
- This comic story is of no relation to the television story of the same name, which was broadcast in 1973, the following year.
- The story never makes explicit which planet features as the Daleks' base-of-operations. The implication of previous stories is Skaro, but the living jungle vegetation stands at odds with its depiction in TV: The Daleks and TV: The Evil of the Daleks. The planet's biome, if not for the presence of dinosaurs, resembles that of Mechanus, Kembel, Mira or Spiridon.
- Picking up right after the events of *Sub Zero, the final issue of which was released the previous week, The Planet of the Daleks creates a very rare instance of one Dalek story immediately following another one. The TV series later did something similar with Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks in 1973 (The Conquest of Far was later written to follow on in 2017), and The Day of the Doctor and The Time of the Doctor in 2013.
Continuity
- The Daleks seek revenge after the Doctor destroyed their Earth invasion force from Antarctica. (COMIC: *Sub Zero)
- The Doctor's cottage features once again. (COMIC: The Celluloid Midas)
- The time vector shares some similarities with the Daleks' time corridor technology used on Earth in 1984. (TV: Resurrection of the Daleks)
- The Daleks force their way aboard the TARDIS. (AUDIO: The Mutant Phase, Patient Zero)
- The Daleks plot to turn the Doctor into a humanoid Dalek. The methods employed to transform the Doctor mimic those employed during their efforts to discover the Dalek Factor and their Antarctic-based invasion. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks, COMIC: *Sub Zero) Dalek Sec of the Cult of Skaro later hybridised himself with a human named Diagoras to become such. (TV: Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks)
- The Daleks would later operate on the Eighth Doctor to install a synaptic conduit in his skull. (COMIC: Fire and Brimstone)
