The Pictures of Josephine Day (comic story)

 was the first story of the Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor comic book mini-series, published in 2015. It introduced Josie Day, a new companion for the Eighth Doctor.

Summary
The Eighth Doctor has come a long way since he regenerated in the morgue of Grace Holloway's hospital. He has known many friends and fast companions in his life — Charley Pollard, C'rizz, Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew, Molly O'Sullivan, and many more.

Now travelling alone after an intense period in his long life, the Doctor has returned to his most regular haunt... Earth.

Plot
The Doctor arrives at his cottage as he is searching for a copy of Jane Eyre, and discovers a young artist, Josephine Day has taken up residence, much to the Doctor's curiosity. Things take a bad turn, where Josie's paintings of familiar aliens start coming to life, and acting in a shallow parody of their real versions. It's up to Josie to save the day when the Doctor is captured...
