'''The Daleks Are Back!''' was a supplement that came with [[DWM 467]]. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' franchise, it took the form of a pseudo-"reprint" of the "1 year anniversary issue" of DWM itself, which in reality did not begin until [[1979 (releases)|1979]]. This format allowed the supplement to contain multiple tongue-in-cheek "features", that gently parodied common aspects of DWM itself, the 1960s annuals, and the early days of ''Doctor Who'' in general, but with particular focus towards the periodical publications. Indeed, even the title was cribbed from the slogan printed on the front of the ''genuine'' first issue of DWM. The features in the magazine itself made great use of anachronism and dramatic irony for comedic effect, with, for example, the "letters" column having a "cameo" from [[Michael Grade]], former BBC controller and the person responsible for the cancellation of the classic series, speculating that the series could last as long "four whole years". | '''The Daleks Are Back!''' was a supplement that came with [[DWM 467]].
