Emperor of the Daleks! (comic story)

Emperor of the Daleks! was a 1993 multi-Doctor comic story in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine. It was a doubly "special" story, celebrating both the thirtieth anniversary of Doctor Who and the two-hundredthh issue of DWM. The part which appeared in DWM 200 was originally printed in full colour, a highly unusual occurrence in the magazine at that time.

Narratively, the story was remarkable for the fact that it brought together the Sixth and Seventh Doctors, Davros, Abslom Daak and Bernice Summerfield. It was also continuity-heavy,. It demanded the reader have a fair grasp of Daak's back story, which had been printed in the magazine ten years earlier. More significantly, though, the story acted as a prequel to Remembrance of the Daleks, giving the reader a Davros story set between Revelation and Remembrance.

In short, the story was aptly titled because it explained how Davros became the Dalek Emperor.

Continuity

 * The story picks up plot threads from DW: Planet of the Daleks, DW: Revelation of the Daleks, DWM: Nemesis of the Daleks and, thanks to time travel, also acts as a prequel to DW: Remembrance of the Daleks (from Davros' point of view). The Doctor drops hints about the Hand of Omega, Davros gains an army or Daleks and ends up in a different casing all setting up for DW: Remembrance of the Daleks (which incidentally is in the 'past' for the Seventh Doctor).
 * The Sixth Doctor mentions a 'mattress' to the Seventh Doctor. This is a reference to DW: Survival.
