Characters

• Third Doctor
• Lt. Davis
• Daleks

References

• The Daleks recognise the Doctor in this story.
• The Daleks can control human minds by touching a gold-coloured cube to their foreheads (an improvement over the Robomen).

Notes

• Reprinted in Doctor Who Classic Comics Issue 5
• Strangely, the launch of the Daleks' atomic missile attack on Sydney only has the effect of destroying the famous Harbour Bridge. Perhaps they forgot to load the warheads?!

Continuity

• The destruction of Sydney Harbour Bridge has been ignored by every other piece of Doctor Who fiction.
