"Hello, the Daleks are stirring up trouble again..."
Daily Mail cartoon by Stanley Franklin (c. 1965)

This is surprisingly biting commentary on racism in 1960s Britain. Daleks are normally used for comedy in these types of cartoons.

I wonder if the artist knew the Daleks were an allegory for Nazis/race supremacy, or if he came to that conclusion on his own.

Cover by Paul Loudon

It's 2023 and Beep the Meep is on the cover of a magazine! Love seeing handmade cover art instead of the usual photoshop.

Also: a Sontaran, Prisoner Zero, an Ood, Omega, a Sea Devil, the Kandyman (!), a Weeping Angel, a Cyberman, a Kaldor android, a Zygon, a Dalek, and an Ice Warrior.

The first Doctor Who novelization was Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks. It featured a Glass Dalek leader that was not in the original serial:

He was resting on a kind of dais and his casing was totally made of glass. Inside, I could see the same sort of repulsive creature that the Doctor and I had taken out of the machine and wrapped in the cloak. The Dalek looked totally evil, sitting on a tiny seat with two squat legs not quite reaching the floor. The head was large, and I shuddered at the inhuman bumps where the ears and nose would normally be and the ghastly slit for a mouth. One shrivelled little arm moved about restlessly and the dark-green skin glistened with the same oily substance that had revolted me before.

As this novelization has had many editions, we are blessed with multiple different artists' takes on the Glass Dalek:

  • 1965 edition by Peter Archer
  • 1980 edition by Michiaki Sato
  • 2005 illustration by Roger Langridge (DWM 354)
  • 2022 edition by Robert Hack

The Dalek Project

In 2009, a Doctor Who graphic novel starring the 10th Doctor was announced. However, the plot involved Daleks during World War I. Due to the similarity with the upcoming Victory of the Daleks, the graphic novel was delayed to 2012. At that point, it was reworked to feature the incumbent 11th Doctor! (Just ignore how this makes it even more similar to Victory of the Daleks.)

Because who would want to read a 10th Doctor comic story in 2012? He was old news!

Here's the original art by Mike Collins, which was an homage to a Frank Hampson piece from 1973.

The Dalek Dictionary, The Dalek Book (1964):

"J" is the forbidden letter of the Dalek language. To precede a word with this letter is a great insult. For example: "J'Galkor" would mean "Follow me, weakling, I am your guide." (See Galkor).

"To hold in Elmo's hand a capsule that contains such power, to know that life and death on such a scale was Elmo's choice. To know that the tiny pressure on Elmo's thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes, Elmo would do it! That power would set Elmo up above the gods. And through the Daleks, Elmo shall have that power!"
