Eternity Springs is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2014.
Summary
The Doctor and Clara visit a distant colony world, Eternity Springs, a beautiful village built around a spring-hole in the ground and where "time spent is never wasted. Their hosts are welcoming and they are offered accommodation at a nearby guest house - the only room in the village with bunk beds! But Clara is troubled by what she thought she glimpsed earlier, a monster. When they find the door to their room locked the Doctor and Clara escape using sheets tied together and climbing out of the window. They follow some 'monster' footprints to a clearing in the wood where they find the villagers have gathered. Before they are recaptured the Doctor and Clara hear the villagers discussing their fate. The Villagers are agreed that that the newcomers are not allowed to leave Eternity Springs. When they are discovered, the village Mayor is the first to turn of his hologram discs revealing himself to be a mutated human. Their precious water from the spring gave them eternal life. The price of which was their mutated form. A price they felt worth paying. When they attempt to force the Doctor and Clara to drink the water the Doctor produces his sonic screwdriver and pointinng it to the ground creates a localised earthquake that sees the spring begin to drain away. As the villagers start to dig for their lives - literally, the Doctor and Clara make their escape and return to the TARDIS. The Doctor doubts that they will ever find the Spring again - and thats for the best!
