Emperor of the Daleks! was a 1993 multi-Doctor comic story in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine. Its publication ran across the landmark 200th issue of DWM and the part which appeared in that issue 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 therefore relied heavily on established continuity, and demanded the reader have a fair grasp of Daak's backstory, which had been printed in the magazine ten years earlier. More significantly, the story acted as a prequel to Remembrance of the Daleks, branching Davros's story between Revelation and Remembrance.

Notes
- The story picks up plot threads from the television stories Planet of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks and the comic story Nemesis of the Daleks, and also acts as a prequel to Remembrance of the Daleks from Davros' point of view.
- The Sixth Doctor mentions a "mattress in Perivale" to the Seventh Doctor, a reference to Survival. However, in that particular story, the Doctor landed on an abandoned sofa, not a mattress.
