☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume of The Adam Strange Archives collects the Silver Age adventures of the Zeta-Beam-powered hero from Mystery in Space #75-91, showcasing his continued battles on the alien world of Rann and his relationship with Alanna. Written by Gardner Fox with art primarily by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson, these stories represent the peak of Adam Strange's original 1960s run.
In "The Cloud-Creature That Menaced Two Worlds!", Adam Strange finds himself caught between two worlds as Sardath's experiments with the Zeta-Beam trigger unforeseen consequences—granting Adam a super-evolved mind, but also unleashing a dangerous brain-wave threat across Rann. When Alanna disables the machine to restore balance, a remnant of that energy becomes trapped in stone, which Adam brings back to Earth. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino with inks by Sid Greene and colors by Jamison, this classic tale features a cover by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
In "Rescue By Moonlight!", young Tommy Parker listens as his father recounts the daring tale of Alan Strange, a 25th-century hero who once risked everything to protect a cache of parastil—a rare metal vital to the era’s economy—from a band of ruthless thieves under the light of a distant moon. With only wit and courage to guide him, Alan must outmaneuver his foes in a high-stakes game of shadows and speed, all while the fate of a city’s future hangs in the balance.
Adam Strange finds himself caught between two worlds when Sardath’s attempt to regulate his Zeta-Beam travel accidentally unlocks a surge of super-evolved intellect—leaving Adam with a mind beyond his own. As the resulting brain-wave energy threatens Rann, Alanna must make a difficult choice to stop the surge, leaving behind a mysterious remnant of power frozen in stone.
In "The Robot Wraith of Rann!", Adam Strange finds himself caught in a mystery when Thanas Pral—once a villain, now seeking redemption—awakens as a spectral fugitive. When his attempt to possess a metallic case goes awry, the resulting robot twists his intentions, turning him into a threat to Rann as he races to stop the machine before it brings the planet to ruin.
When Hawkman and Hawkgirl return Adam and Alanna to Earth for their wedding, the celebration is cut short—Mortan hijacks the zeta-beam, snatching Alanna back to Rann and luring Adam into a deadly trap. Now, with time running out and the fate of their union hanging in the balance, Adam must navigate a labyrinth of perilous prisons to reach her before it’s too late.
When the Manhawks break free from their Thanagar prison and vanish the planet itself, Adam Strange and his allies must race to uncover the truth behind their sudden power surge—before the rogue aliens turn their sights on Rann. With Sardath’s ancient knowledge, Alanna’s courage, and the mysterious presence of Falthis Farr, the heroes face a threat that defies logic and reality.
