Customer Reviews
Alan Moore may not be the greatest comics writer ever (and he’d probably tell you so himself), but he’s just so good at combining myriad influences into a unique new creation, one that feels familiar but original all the same. These tales of the “science-hero” Tom Strong draw from all the classic pulp influences, including Tarzan, Doc Savage, John Carter Of Mars, Superman, etc. It’s a relatively recent work, written for Moore’s America’s Best brand on the Wildstorm imprint. And the cavalcade of artists Moore enlists is incredible- Chris Sprouse (credited as co-creator), Art Adams, Jerry Ordway, and Dave Gibbons all on point here, and Moore gets great work out of them. A fun read, and a real change of pace from Moore’s darker Watchmen/V For Vendetta/From Hell material. I totally love this book. Check it out!
