Notes

• The list of references in Genesis of Evil are almost entirely drawn from the special features, The Dalek Dictionary and The Dalography of Skaro, contained in The Dalek Book. The Emperor himself is a character which originated in the Richard Jennings comic stories from that same book. Additional references were used in subsequent stories, but this story featured more than any other. The Dalek Emperor would not actually appear on screen until DW: The Evil of the Daleks in June 1967, more than two years after this story was published.
• Unlike The Dalek Book or related books by Souvenir Press and Panther Books, TV Century 21 never used the term "Dalek Chronicles". The title of the series was The Daleks.
• Alan Fennell stated that he worked on the first two or three "stories" in an interview for DWCC 19, but most sources list him as only co-writing for the first three issues.
• The name of the Humanoid Daleks' city is referred to as Dalaza on the cover of TV Century 21 issue 2, but the city goes unnamed in the comic. Dalazar is the name of the continent.
• Over forty years later, Yarvelling would inspire the name of Davros' elder half-sister Yarvell in the Big Finish audio mini-series I, Davros.
