Review of Attack of the Daleks by dema1020
4 June 2024
Attack of the Daleks is a relatively innocent comic from ancient times that I had a hell of a time digging up. It's pretty okay, though was my first real taste of John and Gillian Who, which was fun. I like how the Second Doctor was drawn in this book. He's goofy, and barely resembles Troughton, but the top hat is spiffy and the silliness isn't that bad for a silly little story like this.
But, realistically, the story is disjointed and unnecessary. The Daleks are pointless and feel like they are here because of the branding more than anything else. Were it not for the artwork I'd say this story was without value, and even then, at a short four pages, it still barely feels worth anyone's time. Sure, it is for children - but one could do so much better in providing entertainment to kids with this franchise.
