TDD 5

The fifth issue of The Daredevils was cover dated May 1983. Despite being the fifth issue of the publication, it was only the second of interest to this wiki, as the reprinted Spider-Man comics published in issues 1 through 4 were replaced with a reprint of Star Death from Doctor Who Magazine, and only the first issue had another DWU link (through A Rag, a Bone, a Hank of Hair...).

Over the next three issues, Doctor Who comics were reprinted in the magazine to give explicit context to the readers about the origins of the Special Executive team, who appeared in this issue in Executive Action, the fifth part of the flagship narrative of The Daredevils, where they interacted with and attempted to kidnap Captain Britain.

Additional details

 * The reprint of Star Death is slightly altered so that it is the Marvel's Merlyn who introduces the story instead of the Fourth Doctor. The text bubble referencing Gallifrey remain the same, however.
