   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.
