DALEK DISCS
The fiction in the Dalek Annual is, in the best possible way, space opera in the pulp-SF tradition of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips, and magazines such as Amazing Stories (1926). As a genre, space opera isn’t about sciencefiction concepts but simply using futuristic dressing for narratives in the ‘colonial adventure’ vein of Arthur Conan Doyle, H Rider Haggard and Jules Verne – stories about lost cities, primitive tribes and, with surprising frequency, dinosaurs.
