* The idea for a graphic novel was first proposed by [[Justin Richards]] in [[2008]]. It was to feature Daleks in the [[First World War]], and be titled ''[[The Dalek Project]]''. However, for various reasons, ''The Only Good Dalek'' was made in its place. One such reason is explained in an interview with Richards in [[Doctor Who: The Dalek Handbook|The Dalek Handbook]], in which he said ''The Dalek Project'' felt too much like a [[Tenth Doctor]] story. However, in September 2012 Richards and Mike Collins will publish a new version of ''The Dalek Project'' as the second BBC Books graphic novel.[http://www.doctorwhonews.net/2012/06/dwn270612143517-bbc-books-autumn.html] | * The idea for a graphic novel was first proposed by [[Justin Richards]] in [[2008]].

* Although evidence suggests the story is set in the 41st century, not long after the events of ''[[Mission to the Unknown (TV story)|Mission to the Unknown]]'' and ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' which took place in [[4000]], the war is said to have lasted for a hundred years. This suggests the Daleks of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]] have rewritten Dalek history in some way, as [[Marc Cory]] claims in the original timeline that the Daleks disappeared from human space not long after [[3000]]. | * Although evidence suggests the story is set in the 41st century, not long after the events of ''[[Mission to the Unknown (TV story)|Mission to the Unknown]]'' and ''[[The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story)|The Daleks' Master Plan]]'' which took place in [[4000]], the war is said to have lasted for a hundred years.

* Because Justin Richards was unaware the Dalek design was changing, the story was originally to feature the bronze Dalek design from [[2005]] and the Daleks would be made dependant on [[static electricity]] once more by having their slats removed. This idea was changed when Richards received photos of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]]. ([[REF]]: ''[[The Dalek Handbook]]''). However, he also seemed unaware that [[Steven Moffat]] intended the New Paradigm design to act as a Dalek officer class rather than a replacement design. ([[REF]]: ''[[The Brilliant Book 2011]]''). The bronze design would later reappear in [[TV]]: ''[[Asylum of the Daleks (TV story)|Asylum of the Daleks]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[The Dalek Project (comic story)|The Dalek Project]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dalek Generation (novel)|The Dalek Generation]]'',[[TV]]: ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'' and [[TV]]: ''[[Into the Dalek (TV story)|Into the Dalek]]''. | * Because Justin Richards was unaware the Dalek design was changing, the story was originally to feature the bronze Dalek design from [[2005]] and the Daleks would be made dependant on [[static electricity]] once more by having their slats removed.
