Between January 1965 and January 1967, the new glossy children’s comic TV Century 21 published on its back page a full colour comic strip charting the rise to power of the dreaded Daleks.
Far away in hyperspace on the planet Skaro, the ugly, blue humanoid Daleks are at war with the Thals. Leading the war is Zolfian and Chief Scientist Yarvelling, who plan to launch an atomic strike against the Thals and then wipe out any survivors with armed robots. However, when a freak meteor storm strikes their store of atomic weapons, things look bleak for all life on Skaro...
When Krattorian slave traders land on Skaro to collect valuable supplies of sand, the Daleks see a chance to steal from them the secret of space travel. They plan to set the slaves, led by Sala and Astolith, against their Krattorian masters, but there is also a traitor aboard the ship...
Trying to find ways to strengthen Dalek casings, lowly worker Zeg is exposed to dangerous rays after a freak accident. This accident strengthens his casing, but also makes him dangerously unstable, and he challenges the Emperor to a duel, believing he should be Emperor of the Daleks. Will his strength be a match for the Emperor’s cunning?
Finally perfecting space flight, the Daleks intend to conquer the planet Alvega. However, Alvega’s intelligent plant life has other ideas and fights back against the Daleks’ tyranny…
The Daleks attempt to steal an advanced weapon from the planet Solturis, but Lurr, in his Bowl of Tomorrow, has foreseen their arrival. He tries to warn King Redlin. However, the King will not listen, believing the Daleks to be allies…
A rust cloud threatens the Daleks on Skaro. However, the Black Dalek’s plan to stop it results in the cloud mutating into a deadly rust virus that begins to infect and destroy the whole Dalek race...
The Monstrons land on Skaro, intent on either enslaving or destroying the Daleks with their Engibrain robots. They set up base in an extinct volcano…
The Daleks stray into Mechanoid space. The Mechanoids retaliate, melting the Dalek spaceship and declaring war on the Dalek race.
In search of weapons and secrets to defeat the Mechanoids, the Daleks attack the hidden planet of Phryne, which holds the secrets of a hundred worlds. Penetrating its invisible shield, they land on the planet and begin to destroy. However, the Phrynians hold all the secrets in their heads – nothing is written down – and they are determined that they will die before they reveal those secrets to the Daleks.
When the rogue planet Skardal is propelled onto a collision course with Skaro, it looks like the Daleks will be destroyed. However, the Emperor devises a cunning plan to magnetise a field of asteroids and turn Skardal into a weapon to use against the Mechanoids.
Terrified of the repercussions of an all-out war between Daleks and Mechanoids, the Zerovians dispatch a robot called 2K to prevent a conflict. This he does by tricking the Daleks into destroying the rogue planet and forcing an uneasy truce between the two races.
