    Gerry Anderson stuff mainly, Star Trek and Daleks.

    No "Doctor Who" though.

    I remember reading one Dalek comic strip I think. They had all different shaped Daleks, not just the pepper pot looking ones. That's all I
    remember. The problem with comic books is that they never start and
    finish a story in the same comic unless it's a short rubbish one, so
    it's pointless reading most of them unless you're waiting for the dentist.

    The TV21 comics my Nan got at jumble sales were all random
    issues, so yeah, often I only had bits of stories. 'The Daleks'
    strip was an ongoing series of adventures too, so it was only
    later on in life when DWM reprinted them under its "Classic
    Comics" banner that I got to read the full strips from beginning
    to end.

    The Daleks in that comic strip were not drawn very faithfully at
    the best of times, even the one that featured in the strip's
    header was a bit elongated.... that strip introduced the Golden
    Emperor Dalek though, which as a kid I thought was very cool.

    it?s perfectly clear. the comics had Daleks. They did not have Dr Who. It
    is perfectly possible to have one without the other.

    Correct. TV21 had a Daleks comic strip, with no Doctor.

    Big Finish also did it quite well with their "Dalek Empire"
    series of audio adventures... Daleks with no Doctor.

    Read this slowly Dave...

    The Daleks were in TV21... in a comic strip called... [wait for
    it]... THE DALEKS... the Doctor wasn't in it, and comic strips
    called... [wait for it again]... DOCTOR WHO ... which featured
    [yes, you guessed it] THE DOCTOR ... appeared at a later date in
    other British comics (TV Action, Countdown, Doctor Who Weekly
    ...etc.)

    Do you understand it now?

    Who were the Enemy of The Daleks then?? The Skaro planets
    normal population (The Kelads, maybe, or was it Kaleds??)??

    In the TV21 comic strips the Mechanoids were the enemy in some
    of the stories, and a variety of aliens in others as the Daleks
    expanded through space.

    The populations of other Dalek occupied planets??

    Pretty much. There was Anti-Dalek resistance from conquered
    worlds in various forms throughout the comic strips and audios
    that didn't feature the Doctor.

    Several different origins, not all of which include Dr. Who.

    That was a good movie. I should watch it again.

    I never saw the very end. TiVo recorded it, and as it did, it lopped off
    the end of the movie because it was the end of the listed broadcast

    It intrigued me to learn that the novel technically came first, but was written only to base the movie on it. I guess back then they just

    It's now out of copyright being almost 100 years old and on YouTube for
    free.

    Looking at the cinematography you can obviously see that in comparison
    modern movies are absolute crap, with the director not having the
    remotest clue how to place the actors or set up a scene and make it appropriate to the aspect ratio they are using. These degenerate
    imbecilic morons think they are making cheep soap operas and crop the
    top and bottom of material filmed in 4/3 ratio to 2.4:1 to make
    'cinematic' and it is completely unwatchable because you can tell it was
    never made to be framed that way. I've seen the trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and the cinematography is totally horrific. Even the
    AI trailers for it look far superior than this woke soap opera garbage
    which doesn't look epic in any way. Even the HBO Odyssey mini series was better made.

    Copyright expired? The comics were made in the UK and subject
    to UK copyright laws. The copyright can?t expire until the
    writer and artist have both been dead for 70 years.

    Correct. TV21 comic is not public domain.

    It?s great that the pirated strips are available but it?s
    nothing to do with expired copyright.

    Most of the main TV21 strips have been reprinted over the years
    anyway... the Gerry Anderson ones were collected into hardback
    anthologies, which are probably still available... whilst DWM has
    compiled "The Daleks" strips into one collection on a couple of
    occasions too. So most of the TV21 material is 'out there' and
    accessible.

    Copyright expired? The comics were made in the UK and subject
    to UK copyright laws. The copyright can?t expire until the writer
    and artist have both been dead for 70 years.

    It?s great that the pirated strips are available but it?s nothing to
    do with expired copyright.

    A lot of what is on Archive.org is pirated and still copyright. As with
    most of these user-created places, nobody official ever bothers to
    check.

    Even if they did, I sure distributing a PDF/CBR of some scanned
    comics from the 1960's wouldn't get PC Plod knocking at your
    door anyway... maybe a cease and desist notification, if they
    could even be bothered about old stuff like that.

    Maybe not. It depends on the copyright holder - some are more
    protective than others. Some of the stuff on archive.org is relatively
    new too.

    There is an archive website for old Apple Macintosh computer software
    called MacintoshGarden.org which has lots of old software that can no
    longer be purchased. Most developers either don't know or don't care,
    some smaller developers even help out uploading their own old software,
    but there are one or two big name companies that have issued "cease and desist" / "take down" notices even though they no longer sell the
    software and no new computers can run it other than via an emulator.
    The website organisers do check that the software from those companies
    is not uploaded.

    So where do Daleks come from?

    I rest my case.

    he?s an idiot. various comic lines might be internally consistent, but not consistent with others, or with books, tv, movies. And it?s not just comics. stuff changes.

    You are into divergency.

    whats ?divergency?? And it?s a simple fact, easily observed, that comic
    lines might be internally consistent but not across lines and definitely not across diferent media types. How old is Nick Fury? Is he a black guy or a white guy? What?s the Joker?s real name? Does Jim Gordon know who Batman really is, or not? If he knows, how did he fid out? Same with Catwoman. Lots more...

    No "Doctor Who" though.

    You said Daleks.

    Yes Dave I did, as in, just Daleks!

    Please keep up at the back...

    Then why say No "Doctor Who" though?

    I know comprehension isn't one of your strong points, but
    it's written in plain English and quite clear. Words have
    meaning. Do try and understand them.

    And if you were not a comic reader, beyond Beano and the
    Dandy, then it doesn't matter anyway!

    You sound confused. You said No "Doctor Who" though, even though
    you said Daleks.

    it?s perfectly clear. the comics had Daleks. They did not have Dr Who. It
    is perfectly possible to have one without the other.

    Do carry on, though, your idiocy is amusing.

    So where do Daleks come from?

    Several different origins, not all of which include Dr. Who.

    WEll the Doctor is the antiDalek expert.

    So what? The writers in the noted series(es) either could not or simply did not include Doctor Who in the series.
