The Only Good Dalek (comic story)
Publisher's summary
Top-secret Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in their unceasing war against the Daleks. It's where Dalek technology is analysed and examined. It's where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived. But somehow the Daleks have found out about Station 7 - and there's something there that they want back. With the Doctor increasingly worried about the direction the Station's research is taking, the commander of Station 7 knows he has only one possible, desperate, defence. Because the last terrible secret of Station 7 is that they don't only store captured Dalek technology. It's also a prison. And the only thing that might stop a Dalek is another Dalek.
An epic, full colour graphic novel featuring the Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

Notes
- A preview of the first few pages involved Skaro, a Slyther and a man turning into a Varga plant. An extra page shown on Amazon.co.uk featured members of the Space Security Service, Ogrons and Robomen.
- Only Drone, Scientist, and Strategist model Daleks feature in this story. The Supreme and Eternal Daleks do not appear, although the "Dalek Supreme Command" is mentioned (Command of the Dalek force seem to fall under one of the Strategists).
- A Mechanoid shell is among the artefacts recovered from one of the worlds ravaged by the Daleks.
Continuity
- When talking with the team on Station 7, the Doctor mentions that he has worked with Bret Vyon and Sara Kingdom (DW: The Dalek's Master Plan) to gain the team's trust, prompting the station commander to comment that the Doctor has impeccable credentials but must have started fighting Daleks at a young age, suggesting that this takes place within a decade of Mavic Chen's attempted takeover when the Doctor's current apparent youth is taken into account
- A Time Field Crack appears on a tank that holds a Dalek creature. (DW: The Big Bang)
- The Daleks refer to Professor Weston's genetically pacified Dalek as "the Abomination", a name they have often used in the past to describe beings they loathe and/or fear. (DWN: Remembrance of the Daleks, DW: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth)
- Amy refers to previously seeing Daleks "pretending to be good". (DW: Victory of the Daleks)
- Amy refers to the forest on the Byzantium. (DW: Flesh and Stone)
- The Doctor explains that Magnedons were used by the Thals as a power source. (DW: The Daleks)
- Outlines of different Dalek designs are displayed on a screen on a wall. These designs include the first Daleks (DW: The Daleks), the Special Weapons Dalek (DW: Rememberance of the Daleks), a Time War Dalek (DW: Dalek toVictory of the Daleks), and possibly Davros.
