The Eternal Present was a Third Doctor comic story published in TV Action.
Summary
The Third Doctor has been pursued through time and captured for the "crime" of time travel.

The Time Lord allies himself with Theophilus Tolliver, the inventor of Earth's first time machine, to uncover the truth about Mar-Kom.
