[[Lady Penelope (comic story)|One two-page comic story]] also involved Penelope in a multi-series crossover story arc with ''[[Fireball XL5 (series)|Fireball XL5]]'' and ''[[Stingray (series)|Stingray]]'' centering on the DWU planet of [[Astra]].

In [[1966 (releases)|1966]], the television series of ''Thunderbirds'' briefly crossed over with ''[[Doctor Who]]''. In ''[[The Man from MI.5 (TV story)|The Man from MI.5]]'', the [[Dalek]]s made a licensed appearance in the form of a report from the [[Solturian News Agency]], the final page of ''[[The Penta Ray Factor (comic story)|The Penta Ray Factor]]'' in [[TV21 32]] in the real world. Not only did this mark the first time the Daleks appeared outside of ''Doctor Who'', ironically on the [[BBC]]'s main competitor [[ITV]], but it also constituted the televised debuts of the [[Dalek Prime]] and the rank of [[Dalek Emperor]], predating their ''Who'' debuts in ''[[The Evil of the Daleks (TV story)|The Evil of the Daleks]]'' by over a year. | |||
In addition to these "one-off" crossovers, ''Thunderbirds'' stories featured concepts which debuted in ''[[The Daleks (series|The Daleks]]'' on a semi-regular basis. The final panel of ''The Daleks'' strip was usually one or two "Stop Press" [[news]] stories, continuing the idea that the entire contents of ''TV21'' was part of [[TV 21|a fictionalised newspaper from the future]] and offering readers a teaser of the events of the next issue. As well as often referencing future Dalek comic stories, it also regularly referred to the other strips in the magazine. This meant, for example, that the [[invisible ray torch]] seen in ''[[The Vanishing Ray (comic story)|The Vanishing Ray]]'' actually made its debut in ''[[The Menace of the Monstrons (comic story)|The Menace of the Monstrons]]''. Direct sequels or continuations to crossover stories printed in ''TV21'' also occassionally appeared in its sister magazine, ''[[Lady Penelope (magazine)|Lady Penelope]]''. | In addition to these "one-off" crossovers, ''Thunderbirds'' stories featured concepts which debuted in ''[[The Daleks (series|The Daleks]]'' on a semi-regular basis.
