About the series
From 1999 to 2006, Alan Moore, Peter Hogan, and Ed Brubaker chronicled the adventures of Tom Strong, a super-scientist raised on a mysterious island who becomes the pinnacle of 20th-century heroism. Alongside his wife Dhalua, brilliant daughter Tesla, and a supporting cast including the mechanical man Pneuman and the time-lost King Solomon, Tom faces bizarre threats with a blend of pulp invention and Golden Age charm. Illustrated primarily by Chris Sprouse, Jerry Ordway, and Duncan Fegredo, this DC series stands as a cornerstone of Moore's America's Best Comics line, reimagining science-hero tropes through a lens of earnest wonder and intricate world-building.
