Tom Strong's Terrific Tales Book One

   Tom Strong is the ageless wonder from the 1920s. Like his name, he's as mighty as he is strong. He's a brilliant inventor and a fearless adventurer.

     Tesla Strong is Tom's beautiful daughter. She's fearless just like her father and warrior mother. But she's also a bit of a party girl.

      King Solomon is a super-intelligent gorilla. A loyal friend of Tom's, Solomon is also quite the ladies man and oh so dapper.

      Jonni Future. Her uncle was the original Johnny Future. His niece inherits the mantle after his dies. Tasked with saving the world in a time that's not her own, she's part historian, part futurist and 100% sexpot.

      Young Tom Strong- shipwrecked and orphaned on a mystical island, Tom Strong grows rapidly over a very short period of time. Since he looks older than he is, Tom is initiated into the tribes people who've become his new family through a serious of trails into manhood.

      Tom Strong's Terrific Tales was a fun journey back to the days of pulp heroes, lusty adventurers, and fantastical scientists. I found this and it's companion volume at my favorite comic book store, Books Do Furnish A Room. It was on steep discount. But the main reason I got these books were because of the head writer Alan Moore of whom I am a huge fan. Yet the main sell for this book I discover is the brilliant artwork and covers by Arthur Adams (Monkeyman and O'Brien.) He's quickly become one of my top 5 favorite artists of all-time and despite the fact that I am in serious need of shelf space, this volume as become a permanent fixture of my collection- thanks to Mr. Adams.

    A great series that has won my attention and desire to own more Tom Strong adventures.

    Worth Consuming
