- Depicted is the Daleks' vengeful return to the planet Aridius, once a water-world, now a desert planet because of a stellar incident some 1000 years earlier which shifted its position in relation to its twin suns. Aridius was a reminder of the Daleks' long-since failed attempt to capture their legendary enemy, the Doctor. The native Mire Beasts were disturbed when the Daleks (under orders from the Dalek Supreme) arrived using their gravity weapons to wipe out all life forms on the planet. Even the king of the Mire Beasts (the Mire Colossus) was unable to survive such a vicious attack. With the Mire Beasts destroyed, the peace-loving Aridians were all very quickly exterminated.
Additional notes
- This issue was released with a pack of Invader & Ultimate Monsters trading cards.
