A Little Help from My Friends (comic story)

 was the first story of the second year of the Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor comic story series, published in 2020.

This multi-Doctor story ties into the events of the series 3 TV story Blink, taking place in 1969 during the time when the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones were stranded there by a Weeping Angel.

Quite unusually for this series, part 1 of the story had its worldwide debut not in the ongoing American comic series, but in its UK sister series Doctor Who: Tales from the TARDIS, appearing in the first issue of its third year, less than a week before its American printing. Regardless, the fine print on the issues contents page still credits 13DY2 1 as the story's original printing.
