References

- The Doctor believes that plunging the TARDIS into the heart of a sun will kill everyone onboard.
Notes
- 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 and Mira.
- 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.
Continuity
- The Daleks seek revenge after the Doctor destroyed their Earth invasion force from Antarctica. (COMIC: *Sub 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 (TV: The Evil of the Daleks) and their Antarctic-based invasion. (COMIC: *Sub Zero)
