  Abslom Daak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abslom Daak (sometimes misspelled "Absalom Daak") is a fictional character who appeared in the Doctor Who Weekly comic strip based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
Daak pursued this vendetta in subsequent installments of his comic strip, taking on a crew called the Star Tigers and slicing a destructive swathe through the Dalek armies, often armed only with an energy pistol and his personal chainsword.
In that, a cryogenically frozen Daak was revived by Ace and the Seventh Doctor, presumably before his death in Nemesis of the Daleks.

 Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer
Daak is equipped and armed, and after destroying the robot meant to send him on his way, he voluntarily jumps into the transmat.
Daak finds out that the Daleks are building a genocide device, their ultimate weapon, with which they plan to conquer planet after planet.

 1980s Strips
Abslom Daak is sentenced to become a Dalek Killer and dispatched to the planet Mazam.
After the golden Emperor Dalek of TV21 fame, Abslom Daak arguably represents the comics’ second greatest contribution to the Dalek mythos, with a number of return appearances in the comic strips and even an appearance in the Virgin range of novels.
The original set of Abslom Daak stories concludes here, but it always felt like Steve Moore had other plans for his psychopathic creation, as Daak’s promise in the first strip to return to Earth is never fulfilled and the whole issue of Taiyin, held in suspended animation, is never satisfactorily resolved.

Technically it was meant to be destroyed, but the salesman had been swayed by Abslom’s manner, a coupla hundred credits, and a promise to introduce him to a certain three-headed companion for hire, who had had gills grafted into her body.
Fortunately, Abslom had managed to entice, threaten, cajole, call in favors from, or flmail the necessary beings in charge of disposing of the items on the aforementioned shopping list, so that he was able to hold onto his customary 8%.
Abslom had sent out messages to some of the greatest adventurers in the cosmos to see whether there was any interest in anyone joining him for this voyage.

Abslom Daak Dalek Killer (DWW 17-20) is one of the best stories I've read in the comic strip medium, not just in Who, and comes from that short-lived era when Doctor Who Weekly was the playground of some of the UK's greatest comics creators.
Abslom Daak even gets a cameo in a story called Oasis, which was reprinted in Axel Pressbutton 2 from Eclipse Comics.
Daak's Doctor Who strips are set in the 26th century and his Warrior cameo was circa 5090, but Axel Pressbutton continuity isn't really compatible with Doctor Who.

Abslom Daak sacrificed himself to destroy a Dalek Death Wheel some years previously; Spacefleet gave occasionally employed clones of Daak for special missions.
Unrecorded Adventures: The Doctor was with Abslom Daak when he died in a suicide attack on the central reactor of a Dalek Death Wheel.
The inclusion of Abslom Daak is largely pointless and the character gets some atrocious dialogue.

Daak escapes, and discovers that the Daleks are building a genocide machine with which they will be able to gas entire planets.
Daak sends the Doctor and the Helkans to safety while he pilots a Dalek anti-gravity disc into the reactor, destroying it, blowing up the Death Wheel, and saving the planet at the cost of his own life.
Abslom Daak is thus plucked out of his timeline moments before dying in the Death Wheel over Hell; the Daleks use humanoid robots to convince him that he's been brought back to Earth, and send him back to Hell to capture the Seventh Doctor.

Although Abslom doesn't get an explicit mention, he does talk about how the comic strips were the focal point of the early magazine, and how they didn't realize they didn't have the rights to use the Daleks until a year after they started (which is why they weren't in Star Tigers).

Even poor Abslom Daak, a fun character from the days of Doctor Who Weekly, suffers greatly -- which is quite sad, as it was a nice way to tie in the otherwise forgotten comic strips.
On the other hand, Abslom Daak seeming like a comic-strip character because he's a faulty clone is actually quite a good joke, Pool is portrayed effectively grotesquely (and the Lacuna/Britta stuff is ambiguously stomach-turning), and as I say the action sequences are very well painted.
Then there's their infiltration of Landfall, Ace rescuing Daak, their securing of the shuttle, their encounter with the giant space prawn, followed by the little creepy-crawlies in the shuttle.

 Comic Book DB - Abslom Daak
Abslom Daak (sometimes misspelled "Absalom Daak") is is a Dalek Killer, or DK, a convicted criminal given a reprieve from the death penalty in exchange for fighting the alien creatures known as the Daleks.
Indeed, prior to Daak, it's arguable whether the personal loss associated with a galaxy-spanning "Dalek War" had ever been investigated by a piece of Doctor Who-related fiction.
Dalek stories prior to Daak tended to have the Doctor knowing abstractly of the threat the Daleks posed to a particular planet, then helping, in some charming way appropriate to that regeneration's character, to save that culture out of a sense of what was the "right" thing to do.

 Abslom Daak -- Canon?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Abslom Daak is one of the few Doctor Who comic spin-offs which have really seen any sort of sustained popularity.
Having Daak, albeit a reincarnated one, appear in the New Adventures lends some creedance to this suggestion.
The Daleks in all the Abslom Daak comics have the same oversized "bumper" as in the two Dalek movies and The Daleks TV Century 21 strip (though the Daleks in Frontier in Space -- presumeably the faction Daak is sent to fight against -- do not, of course).

Of course, one of the interesting things is the inclusion of Abslom Daak, and the elevation of some of the comics to the "pseudo-Canon" of the New Adventures.
He worked well with Ace, I thought, and I thought her belief that she had to keep Daak alive for the future was particularly well-played.
I don't this book is particularly appropriate to a newer reader, however, because it assumes a little bit more about the troubles with the TARDIS that happened earlier on, and also because this is somewhat of a sequel to Warhead Not a failure, but not as good as it could have been, I'm afraid.

Tragically, however, she was killed by a left-over Dalek, leaving Daak grief-stricken and vowing to exterminate every Dalek in the galaxy.

Well, I've just finished listening to "Future Echo Productions" latest episode in their entertaining "Abslom Daak" series, and apart from the fact that this episode features myself and Kane Major, I have to say that it's very good.
This story is apparently the start of a big new story-arc for the "Daak" series, and this opening installment certainly poses quite a number of questions, with no real available answers.
Although this is a bit of a problem for the episode in question (ie: at the end, one feels desperate to hear the next installment, in the hope that some answers are provided), this never at any point detracts from the overall sense of enjoyment one gets from listening to the plot unfold.

I designed Daak by looking through the sample characters and trying to figure where he fit in.
Daak's weapon damage stats are extraordinarliy high simply because they have a tendency to slice through Dalekanium armour as if it were butter.

Daak was a convicted criminal in the 25th century who was given the choice between execution and being sent on a suicide mission against the Daleks.
He chose the latter and, when the woman he loved was killed by the Daleks, made it his life's purpose to kill every Dalek he came across.

Just that, many many moons ago, he wanted to play Abslom Daak in a musical and only now, with my creative brain plugged back in, I'm getting around to writing it.
He's made it quite clear to me that he doesn't have any interest in being part of any other fan productions (hence why his e-mail addy has vanished from the site, all he was getting was requests), and only does the crossovers because he committed himself.
I might do a few more one off plays or I'd be happy to play Daak in cameos for other groups but not a series, I've not got the time or the organisational skills to do it...

ABSLOM DAAK - DALEK KILLER - was originally created for the DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE by STEVE MOORE & STEVE DILLON
The idea for this track came from Metro Music, the company who had already released Variations on a Theme.
Andy Grant struck a deal with Marvel Comics to record a tribute to their comic creation Abslom Daak, a Dalek hunter from the future; the deal was that Marvel could release the track on a promotional disc free with Doctor Who Magazine, after which DWM would grant a licence for a commercial single.
