'''''The Doctor Shops for Comics''''' was a back-up comic story published in the back of ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'' issue 1 in August [[2015 (releases)|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.

* The comics vendor says the Doctor had just left the store a moment before and the Doctor wonders if it was another of his selves.

* The Doctor picks up what he believes are three months worth of ''[[Le Petit Vingtième]]'', noting "full of ever-so-slightly ''racist'' adventures!" Although he also notes that that got better after he "had a word". This is most likely a nod to [[Tintin]] and his creator Hergé, as his first adventures are notorious for depicting racial stereotypes. The earliest stories were pre-published in ''Le Petit Vingtième ''since Tintin was a serial comic at that time. This mention is an anachronism, however, since the story takes places in 1923 whilst the first part of the first Tintin adventure, "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets", was only published on January 10th, 1929.

* This story takes place during Part One of ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|Four Doctors]]'', in which the Eleventh Doctor has split up from Alice to buy some comics before meeting her at the cafe.

* The story is set during the first issue of ''[[Four Doctors (comic story)|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 [[Weeping Angel|not what they seem]].
