The final comic story of the original run, ''[[The Road to Conflict (comic story)|The Road to Conflict]]'', saw [[Starmaker|a human ship]] crash-land on Skaro culminating in the Daleks discovering the exact location of [[Earth]], which the Dalek Emperor had long considered a blindspot.

In [[1993 ( | In [[1993 (releases)|1993]], for the thirtieth anniversary of the conclusion of the series, ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' released the followup story ''[[Return of the Elders (comic story)|Return of the Elders]]'' which depicted their invasion of Earth being foiled by a species of [[telepath]]s known as the [[Elder (Return of the Elders)|Elders]]. The [[destruction]] of all but one [[Dalek ship|ship]] in that story, necessitating a slow rebuild of the [[Dalek Fleet]], served to resolve the timeline contradiction between the [[2060s]] timeframe of the comics and the [[2150s]] setting usually agreed upon for the [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|Dalek invasion of Earth]]. Another DWM followup, ''[[Deadline to Doomsday (comic story)|Deadline to Doomsday]]'', was planned but ultimately unproduced by DWM, though a completed version was later published in the fanzine ''[[Vworp Vworp!]]''. | ||
