Impish enemies, disco delinquents and spine-chilling spooks are bad enough, but there’s even worse on the horizon for the Doctor when he clashes with the Daleks in 1920s Paris. Drawn into a cabaret of shadows and secrets, he finds familiar faces and dabblers in the occult – and discovers his oldest, most deadly foes may have struck a deal with the devil!

“Corruption of the Daleks” is the third time that the Fifteenth Doctor has faced the Daleks, but is notably the first wholly created for this Doctor, the previous encounters being in the Fifteenth Doctor edition of “A Dalek Awakens”, the second Doctor Who-themed “escape room” game developed by Escape Hunt, later revealed as the first story released as part of the Time Lord Victorious event; and the Roblox game, Wonder Chase.

The seven-part story was released across DWM issues 625 to 631, Corruption of the Daleks is also the second time in which the Fifteenth Doctor came across a Dalek-themed dancer as a secondary antagonist.(see Notes section)

This is the second and final collection of Fifteenth Doctor comic strips from the pages of DWM – available to order online now from Blackwells and AmazonUK.

As we previously reported, Doctor Who: Save The Humans! the first Tenth Doctor collection featuring strips from Doctor Who Adventures, will also be released later this year, in stores from 1st September.
