The Moon of Lost Hope (comic story)
The Moon of Lost Hope was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.
Summary
The Space Rescue Service Shuttle Alpha Seven approaches the landing zone on Thosis, the infamous ‘Moon of Lost Hope’ in 3287. The planet reaches out and drags it down onto the boggy landscape. The rescue party of three emerge from the wreck and are met by the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams, who take them to the other wreck’s survivors.
They watch as the alien mud feeds on anything inorganic, including the rescue ship and one of the crew's spacesuit. Taking shelter aboard the crashed star freighter, the Doctor begins repairs to get the ship ready to leave the moon before the mud reaches them. While looking through the ship's computer, the Doctor comes across classified files detailing Koth-Kulaar (whom the Doctor was condemned to a dimension-warp in the Bad Old Days) and a reference to Agent 99. The freighter was on a secret mission now deemed a failure. The survivors blast off in the repaired freighter.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory get back to the TARDIS, just beating the mud. The Doctor decides to find out more about Agent 99!
