Publishers summary
A stunning new graphic novel, featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith.
1917. It's the height of the Great War and Hellcombe Hall is a house full of mystery: locked doors, forbidden rooms, dustsheets covering guilty secrets, and ghostly noises frightening the servants.
Most mysterious of all, the drawing-room seems to open directly onto a muddy, corpse-filled trench on the Western Front . . .
Arriving at this stately home, the Doctor meets Lord Hellcombe, an armaments manufacturer who has a new secret weapon he believes will win the war: he calls it ‘the Dalek’.
Soon, the Doctor and his new friends are in a race against time to prevent the entire Western Front from becoming part of the Dalek Project!

Notes
This may have been originally cancelled due to the episode DW: Victory of the Daleks that was being filmed around the time this comic was due to be released. There are some similarities and differences between this and Victory of the Daleks.
- In the comic a man called Lord Hellcombe claims to have created the Dalek. Similary, in Victory of the Daleks a man called Professor Bracewell claims to have created the Daleks.
- The Dalek Project was to be set during the First World War while Victory of the Daleks is set during the Second World War and features Winston Churchill.
