Under the Volcano (comic story)

Summary
It's Indonesia in 1883. The Doctor and Rose escape from being tied to a post by the local islanders. They spoke about Men of Flames who are destroying their land. Racing through the jungle, they hide behind a waterfall. It leads underground where the Chalderans (a silicon-based, flame-red, horned lifeform, with an incredibly high body temperaure) are drilling into the planet to empty its core and leave behind another dead planet. The Chalderans have three weaknesses; extreme heat, water and stupidity. The Doctor convinces them they have been drilling in the wrong direction. They start to argue amongst themselves. The Doctor and Rose run for the TARDIS. The pursing Chalderans are killed when they run into the waterfall. In the TARDIS the Doctor and Rose watch from a safe distance as the island explodes, killing the remaining Chalderans. The island's name, the Doctor tells Rose, is Krakatoa,. When it exploded. it destroyed two-thirds of the island. For more stunning displays, the Doctor suggests the mating Fire Dragons of Ket-el or the lovely twin supernova out near Deneb-3.
