Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

July 11, 2016

Doctor Who has starred in many comic strips, but not this one. It starred his enemies, the Daleks. It is an old TV Century 21 strip, simply called The Daleks, which appeared in the 1960’s. The art is a little off, and in a few short weeks they’d fix it so that the Daleks looked as they should. But for a while, readers were treated to a comic strip header featuring The Snobby Dalek.

However, the new Daleks still had the same problem. While they looked more accurate, they still had the same snobby expression.

Eventually the powers that were said “the heck with it!” and took the Daleks out of the header entirely, thought they did return towards the end in a completely new layout.

And in case you’re wondering, The Doctor never appeared in this version of the strip.
