Daleks: The Ultimate Comic Strip Collection, Volume 2 (From Stockbridge to Segonus: A Doctor Who Magazine Comics Marathon, Part 43)

Daleks: The Ultimate Comic Strip Collection, Volume 2: Collected comic strips from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine
by Richard Alan, Alan Barnes, Paul Cornell, Martin Geraghty, Scott Gray, Robin Smith, and Lee Sullivan

Collection published: 2022
Contents originally published: 1993-2002
Acquired and read: December 2022

I got twelve pages of new-to-me content in the previous Daleks collection... here just eight, and all the reprints here already had extras. Good value for money!?

If this had come out in time, I would have read its one new strip between Ground Zero and End Game. That's about when it was released, and a random Peter Cushing story feels of a piece with the "past Doctor" strips that ended with Ground Zero.

Fun fact: I have only seen the first Peter Cushing film as a Rifftrax installment, and I have never seen the second at all. This is a prequel to the second, I guess, setting up the Dalek invasion of Earth. Lee Sullivan draws good Daleks, of course, but otherwise there was nothing for me to be found here.

Stray Observations:

• Other included stories and what collections to find them in: (see below for links to my reviews)
• Emperor of the Daleks! and ...Up Above the Gods (in Emperor of the Daleks)
• Bringer of Darkness (in Land of the Blind)
• Fire and Brimstone (in End Game)
• Children of the Revolution (in Oblivion)
  
• Early reports were that this volume would include Return of the Elders (a follow-up to the old Dalek strips from TV Century 21, reprinted as a standalone DWM special in 2020), which was published as a back-up in DWM #249-54. This did not come to pass. Alas, as it would have brought this volume's newly reprinted content up to a whole fourteen pages!
