Software limitations prevent us from representing the proper styling of this title, *Sub Zero. See here for more details. Editors wishing to link to the article using the proper spelling can type [[Sub Zero (comic story)|*Sub Zero]].

*Sub Zero was a Third Doctor comic story published in TV Action.

Summary[]

The Daleks steal an atomic submarine and launch its missiles at Sydney, Australia. They plan to establish a base in the ruins, convert the survivors into Daleks, then destroy the rest of the world!

Characters[]

Worldbuilding[]

  • Daleks condition their human slaves using gold cubes applied to the forehead. Each subsidiary cube is controlled by a master cube.

Notes[]

  • *Sub Zero is the first example of a Doctor Who story to begin with a typographical symbol — in this case, an asterisk — instead of an alphabetic or numeric character.
  • The Daleks are led by a black and gold Dalek. The same colour scheme was used for the Dalek Supreme who appeared on the television series serial Planet of the Daleks in the following year.
