Comics

TV Century 21

'The Daleks' single page comic strip. Sixteen stories / one hundred and four instalments. 1965 - 1967. Century 21 Publishing / City Magazines Ltd.
The strip appeared in full colour on the rear page of the comic. Although credited to Terry Nation (the creator of the Dalek concept for the BBC Doctor Who programme) his contribution to the writing, if any, is unclear. In an interview for Doctor Who Classic Comics the first editor of TV Century 21, Alan Fennell, stated that he (Fennell) was primarily responsible for the initial two or three stories. David Whitaker (the original script editor for the Doctor Who television programme) then took over, with Fennell retaining plot approval and providing some story input thereafter.[1] As originally published the sixteen stories comprising the strip had no individual titles. Those given in this article have come into common use, being the result of research by Big Finish Productions' producer, director, script-editor and voice actor John Ainsworth.[2]

TV Comic

'Doctor Who' comic strip, featuring the Daleks in nine stories / thirty five instalments. 1967 - 1977. Beaverbrook / Polystyle Publications Ltd.
Although TV Comic included a Doctor Who strip from 1964, City Magazines' TV Century 21 title held the rights to use the Daleks in comic strip form until 1966. Consequently the Daleks were absent from TV Comic until the January 1967 story 'The Trodos Ambush'. Subsequently the rights passed to Countdown / TV Action from 1971 to 1973, returning once again to TV Comic between 1974 and 1977.[3]

Although Polystyle ceased to publish a Doctor Who comic strip in 1973 it retained the rights until 1979, effectively banishing the character and his adversaries from the medium for five years.

Doctor Who Magazine

Eight stories / thirty two instalments. 1980 - 2002. Marvel UK. / Panini Comics (from 1995)
Financial problems resulted in Marvel's 'Doctor Who Weekly' becoming a monthly publication from September 1980. Several title variations were used before 'Doctor Who Magazine' was finally settled upon in 1985. Comic strips were retained as a regular feature, with the Daleks making an appearance at irregular intervals.

  • Star Tigers Part Two – Issues 44-46 (September 1980 - November 1980) Writer: Steve Moore. Artists: Steve Dillon, David Lloyd.
