The Doctor Shops for Comics (comic story)

The Doctor Shops for Comics was a back-up comic strip published in the back of Four Doctors issue 1 in August 2015. The story has the unique distinction in back-up comics of actually tying in directly to the main story, not only explaining where the Doctor was after he left the shop in the first issue but introducing a crucial plot element (the "comics") which would be used in the final two issues of the series.

Continuity

 * The story is set during the first issue of Four Doctors. In that story, the Doctor drops Alice Obiefune by the Cafe as he heads off to get some "bande dessinée," meaning Franco-Belgian comics. In issue 2, he constantly holds the bundle of comics and he passes the same stand, making a reference to the purchase of the comics. Throughout the following issues, continuous references are made by the Doctor to his "comics" until issue four, where Gabby Gonzalez ends up with the bundle while running from the Voord and discovers that they are not what they seem.
