Doctor Who Comic (indicia title Doctor Who), published by Titan Publishing Group, was an American comic book series comprised of multiple stories, starring various Doctors and characters.
It launched as a replacement for Titan's Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor series, with the opening story continuing the storyline that began in the latter's truncated second year. Unlike the series that came before it, this series reset its issue numbering with every four-part story arc, effectively making every story its own four issue miniseries.
At an unspecified point, a version of the comic began being published in the United Kingdom. Unlike its American counterpart, the issue numbering was not reset with each successive story arc (i.e. the Missy miniseries was numbered as issues 5 through 8). The cover numbering and GBP price tag appears to be the only thing that differentiates the UK version, with the interiors, right down to the indicia, being identical to the US version.
