More Dalek adventures to follow... finally!

Hi everyone... I apologise for the (2nd) long term rest in posting these strips, but there is a good reason! I had actually RUN OUT of Doctor vs Dalek strips! I was still in need of 3 TV comic strips from the Troughton era that feature the Daleks. Well, 3 months later, after some frenzied ebay watching and then bidding, followed by the borrowing of a decent scanner, I can finally bring you those final strips. After these strips are exhausted, I will run non Dalek strips and the name of the blog will change ever so slightly to reflect this. I pretty much have all of the TV comic and Countdown strips, so if you have any that you particularly remember fondly (That one with the Quarks/Scarecrows/flying bicycle/delete as applicable) then feel free to comment and I will post it.

Just in case you're new here - I won't be posting any TV21 Dalek strips or any from DW Weekly/Monthly. Where possible, I use scans of ORIGINAL comics, NOT the DW Classic Comic reprints (Some of these are of questionable quality, especially the colouring) There are a number of Doctor Who strips from TV Comic Holiday Specials, Doctor Who Holiday Specials and TV Comic Annuals. I WILL be posting these. In the mean time, before I post the first episode of a new adventure from the Troughton era, I thought I'd share this:

It's a paper craft version of the TARDIS as seen in Dave Gibbon's Doctor Who weekly strips. I love his simplistic stylised interpretation of the Police Box exterior and I've thought for a long time it would make a lovely paper model and it only took me a couple of hours to draw it out. In earlier strips, the Tardis was

flat roofed and so you have the option to fit a flar roof or a sloping one. simply print out these two pages on a4 paper or thin card and get cutting. If you do actually make the model, I'd love to see it, as I actually haven't made it myself yet! Have fun...

If I fail, Ercos will become a Dalek missile, Destination Earth!

Entombed by the Daleks, the Doctor, Sarah-Jane and Ticon have followed the course of an underground river which they hope will get them to the surface.

With no way back, they leap into a vast whirlpool which the Doctor considers might be a natural syphon.

As their lungs begin to fail, so does their sense of reality, for they suddenly seem to be shooting upwards... this is the concluding instalment of 'The Dalek Revenge'!

I can't hold on for much longer, so the others must be almost done for!

When the Daleks take automatic control of their amazing drilling machine that the Doctor and his friends have hijacked, a desperate escape bid is made.

But, last to fling himself clear of the tunneling vehicle, the Doctor is knocked unconscious.

On the surface, the Dalek commander gives a fateful order...

Seal the tunnel! It shall become their tomb!

Together with Ticon and Sarah-Jane, the Doctor is travelling at fantastic subterrainean speed aboard the hijacked Dalek drilling vehicle.

As the incredible machine noses deeper and deeper beneath the surface of Ercos, the Doctor voices a terrible theory...

If I'm not mistaken, it's all a matter of monstrous revenge!

Sent to the planet Ercos by the Time Lords, the Doctor and Sarah-Jane find a world under Dalek control.

The time travellers' escaped Klim friend, Ticon, tells them about the Dalek mine and a strange drilling machine that can carry a crew below ground.

On their way to the Dalek camp, they meet up with Luco, who also tells of escape.

But unbeknown to the Doctor and his friends, the treacherous Luco is leading them into a Dalek trap...

They walk into our trap! The Klim slave has served his purpose well...

After helping Ticon the Klim to escape, the Doctor and Sarah Jane are told about the Dalek mine and the strange drilling machine that can travel underground. While the Doctor puzzles out their next move, he is unaware that the Daleks have made an ominous discovery...

The TARDIS! So the arch enemy of the Daleks is near!

Drawn to the planet Ercos by the power of the Time Lords, the Doctor and Sarah Jane discover the awesome presence of the Daleks. When the Daleks chase an escaping Klim and leave him imprisoned in a pit, the Doctor and Sarah Jane attempt to drag him out knowing that the Daleks will soon return with a collection vehicle. Even so, they struggle on...

Some fun to celebrate the new series...

I treasured collecting the original Dr Who promotional cards in both 1975 and 1977 that came free in Weetabix packets to promote Seasons 12 and 14. I was wondering what they might be like if they were reissued in a revamped style for 2010, to promote Matt Smith's debut series. If you want to compare them to the originals, google Dr Who weetabix. Artwork for both series was beautifully drawn by Gordon Archer. My tribute does not do his art work justice, but I hope it evokes a little of the original flavour.

'They will be shown that the Daleks must be obeyed!'

The Doctor and Sarah travel to the planet Ercos at the request of the Time Lords, where they discover the centaur-like 'Klim' are being terrorized by a recently arrived Dalek fleet. They stop to help a Klim that has been caught in a Dalek trap, unaware that the Daleks themselves will soon arrive to collect their prize...

Out in space, among a myriad stars that edge the Milky Way...

The Dalek Revenge - Episode One

The Daleks arrive on the planet Ercos and immediately begin subjugating the dominant life form, the Klims, a race of peace loving Centaur like beings. As the majority of the populace are massacred, a small amount of resistance fighters flee into the forest to regroup. Meanwhile, lightyears away on Earth, the Doctor and Sarah-Jane are off for a spot of lunch, but Bessie has other ideas...

"Even if I get back to the TARDIS, am I going to get away before the missile comes down?"

The Threat From Beneath - Episode 3

Just as the Doctor thinks he has the situation in hand, a Royal Navy Submarine turns up throwing a spanner in the works. But the Sub's crew are soon overcome by hypnotic Dalek sonar, which zombifies them all into Dalek slaves. The Doctor quickly works out that they intend to use the crew of the Sub make deadly use of the vessels nuclear arsenal. However, if he can create a big enough distraction, the Doctor might just be able to turn their newly acquired weaponry against them, but will he be able to escape in time?

"I'm going to try to prevent you humans from destroying yourselves!"

The Threat from Beneath - Episode 2

International tensions escalate and suspicion in Whitehall leads the Western World ever closer to war with the Soviet Union. The Doctor fails to convince the authorities that it is aliens responsible for the satellites that were destroyed, not Russian missiles. Desperate to prevent mankind from wiping itself out, the Doctor begins his own investigations, starting with a visit to Jodrell Bank. Sure enough, something from space came down in the Pacific Ocean last night. With help from the Time Lords, the Doctor points the TARDIS at precisely the correct location on the ocean bed, where he makes a shocking discovery...

"No-one questions my authority! I am the law!"

The Threat From Beneath - Episode 1

The final story of the Countdown/TV Action trilogy as drawn by Gerry Haylock. The Daleks return to Earth in a saucer that hides itself on the sea bed, but not before it destroys a number of surveillence satellites. This threatens to trigger an international crisis, as East and West suspect each other are responsible for the attack. The Doctor is called to Whitehall by General Sanders in the hope that he can figure out what really happened out in Earth's orbit...
