		Our production of Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer has been commended by Steve Moore, writer of the original strips, who kindly offered to provide us with an interview plus exclusive unpublished Abslom Daak material. Click here to read the interview.





	Now available from Altered Vistas is a full adaptation of the classic Doctor Who Weekly comic strip Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer. This strip tells the story of a convicted murderer sent to the planet Mazam to kill as many Daleks as he can before the Daleks exterminate him. However, things do not go according to plan when Daak is forced to team up with Princess Taiyin... Accompanied by a documentary all about Daak’s twenty-six year career and a video for the single by the Slaves of Kane, Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer is an exciting addition to our range.

Abslom Daak in the courtroom set. This sequence was actually rendered many months before I even started creating the soundtrack, just to see what it would look like.

Abslom Daak at the moment he turns Dee Kay. That’s Dalek Killer to the likes of you and me.

The Judge. All of the robot characters were created in Truespace rather than in Poser as I wanted them to move in a certain way.

A test render of J-17. He was always one of my favourite characters from the strip. I think it’s just the idea that a robot could look so completely nerdy.

Daak in the DK Workshop. Here he is just about to choose his weapons to take with him to Mazam. Basically, that’s everything that J-17 can fit on a table top.

A view of the DK Workshop, with J-17 standing in front of the matter transporter.

Daleks in the Mazam throne room set. This is one of my favourite sets in the production. There will be animated fire in the bowl in the background.

Taiyin on her very strange throne with some very unwelcome guests.

A portrait of Taiyin. Her costume caused one or two embarrassing moments during the animation process which had to be rerendered, as a certain part of her anatomy had a tendency to peek through her clothes during certain shots!

Daak and Taiyin in the jungles of Mazam. You can bet your bottom there are Daleks not too far behind them...

With his trusty chainsword, Abslom Daak swings into action. There’ll be diced Dalek for tea tonight.

The Dalek command cell aboard their vast saucer. Not a good place to attempt to attack when you are armed only with a couple of blasters, a few explosives and a chainsword, but guess where Abslom Daak and Taiyin are heading...

The Daleks have some serious hardware at their disposal... and most of it is pointing at Daak.

Taiyin leads Daak to the Dalek command saucer. Not the most promising location for a first date, but she was always an unconventional girl, which probably explains the thigh-length boots too.

Unfortunately, the Daleks are fully aware that Daak and Taiyin are on the way. Guess what they plan to do to them.

Clue: it begins with ‘E’ and ends with “terminate’.

Stop it, you guys! This is no time to be canoodling on the forest floor.

Oh, you’re not. You’ve just been thrown clear of an exploding sky sled. Well, that’s okay then.

The royal city on Mazam. Probably crawling with Daleks. I bet there’s one or two hidden behind those columns...

Nice lady. Big gun. Dalek command saucer. I think that tells you all you need to know.

Daak and his trusty chainsword. A handy man to have around if you need some logs chopping or some Daleks slaying.
