Dr. Who and the Daleks
The Daleks / cover / 1 page
- Genre
- adventure; science fiction
Indexer Notes
Photo cover, using a still from the movie "Dr. Who and the Daleks".
Whereas the news stories that usually populate the covers of TV Century 21 would normally pertain to one of the features inside the comic, this cover story is really not much more than an advertising piece for the "Dr. Who and the Daleks" film just being released in cinemas. A short paragraph at the end does, however, refer to the events in this issue's Dalek strip on the back cover.

Jokey "news" stories, accompanied by gag cartoons.
The first story tells of a film actor, Sir Seamus Vampire, who misses the premiere of his film "Dr. Da and the Humanies". The film's plot involves a spaceship called Dardis. Obviously a spoof of the film "Dr. Who and The Daleks".
