''to be added''
* The Doctor alludes to fighting the [[Trod]]s for "centuries" before they agreed to a peace treaty.


==Notes==
== Notes ==
* This strip marks the first use of the Daleks in the main Doctor Who comic strip after their stint in TV21.
* This strip marks the first use of the Daleks in the main ''Doctor Who'' comic strip after their stint in ''[[TV Century 21]]''.
* At the end of the story the Doctor doesn't defeat the Daleks or liberate the Trods, who are presumably still under Dalek occupation.
* Starting with part 1 of this story, each part is increased from two pages to three.
* From issue 788, the strip's title changes from ''Doctor Who'' to ''Doctor Who and the Daleks'' — even though the Daleks do not feature in every adventure. With Issue 809, the strip's title reverts to just ''Doctor Who'', and ''the Daleks'' does not appear again for the rest of the Second Doctor's comic era.
