Written by Alan Moore and others, with art by a rotating cast of creators, it expands the world of Tom Strong with tales that range from pulp-inspired action to quirky humor.
In 1950, Tom leads a mission into an Arctic ice cavern believed to hide a Nazi secret, only to uncover ancient alien symbiotes that feed on human fear and hatred—entities that have endured in darkness long before the war.
In "Tesla Time," Tesla Strong takes a daring solo trip aboard Tom's spaceship, embarking on a wild adventure across an inhabited asteroid. After a chaotic journey that leaves her drunk and disoriented, she slips back to Earth unnoticed, her escapade a secret only she and the stars know.
On the island of Attabar Teru, young Tom Strong ventures beyond the village of Ozu to explore the ruins of an ancient shipwreck near the Forgotten Shore, guided by the tales of Chief Omotu. There, he encounters a spectral presence tied to the island’s forgotten past, unraveling secrets long buried beneath the tide.
In "The Halfway House," Jonni Future inherits a mysterious, eerie mansion from her uncle—only to discover he was the legendary space adventurer Johnny Future. Soon after, she’s pulled into the Crepusculum, a distant future where she’s joined by the feline-like Jermaal pan Pavane, who declares her the new champion of the Grand Array.
In the vast silence between the Myriad Moons, Jonni Future and her companion Jermaal pan Pavane face a deadly Swarm that threatens to consume everything in its path. With Jermaal’s guidance and her own quick mind, Jonni must find a way to outwit the relentless creatures—turning a moment of fear into a spark of confidence in her new life among the stars.
In "Young Tom Strong and the Thunderbirds of Attabar Teru," a young Tom Strong faces a trial of courage on the distant world of Attabar Teru, where the Ozu tribe demands he slay a Thunderbird to prove his worth. Refusing to take a life he doesn’t need, Tom instead rides the massive creature into the village, earning respect not through violence, but through bravery and compassion. With the help of Chief Omotu and the thunderous wings of Pneuman, Tom’s journey becomes a legend in the making.
