Kane's Story was a Sixth Doctor comic published in Doctor Who Magazine. It was the first story to feature the Skeletoids, who would form the basis of the comics' plot up until Frobisher's Story. It would also be the first DWM story to feature a human companion seen on TV, as K9 Mark II first appeared in Timeslip.

- The title Kane's Story, when paired with Abel's Story, forms a reference to Cain and Abel, two siblings mentioned in the book of Genesis of the Bible.
- The Skeletoids' attack on the two "mighty empires" is illustrated by panel depicting a Dalek and Cyberman respectively.
Continuity

- Peri offered to show the Doctor around Manhattan in New York City to cheer him up in AUDIO: Paradise 5.
- Peri would be left at a botany symposium during the events of AUDIO: Davros, while the Doctor attended to business elsewhere. Her stay in New York, however, provied considerably longer than either her or the Doctor expected. She's surprised and delighted to see him return.
- Before picking up Frobisher, the Doctor had been travelling alone on the trail of the Moderator's employer. (COMIC: The Moderator)
- A group of miniature penguins are seen watching the Doctor. These penguins first appeared in Once Upon a Time-Lord and will reappear in Party Animals and Time & Time Again.
