Abslom Daak

A convicted killer in the far future, Abslom Daak was given a stark choice by Earth's authorities: execution or deployment as a Dalek Killer. He chose to fight, becoming a lethal one-man weapon against the Daleks, armed with a chainsword and fueled by rage.

Few characters burst out of the Bronze Age with quite the ferocity of Abslom Daak, who made his explosive debut in Doctor Who Weekly #17 in 1980, conjured by Ron Goulart and Win Mortimer for Marvel UK. Over an extraordinary span stretching from 1980 all the way to 2024, this cult favourite has carved out a place in the wider Doctor Who universe, sharing pages with the likes of The Doctor, Alice Obiefune, and even Captain Britain and Night-Raven across a wild mix of titles. His appearances in Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Year Two speak to a remarkable staying power — a Bronze Age original who refused to be forgotten — and the eclectic company he keeps only deepens his mystique. If you love the rougher, wilder corners of British comics history, Abslom Daak is absolutely worth tracking down.
