About this Collection

This volume collects the first story arc of the 2004 series Terra Obscura, a DC Comics miniseries that explores a hidden world of forgotten heroes and bizarre science. Written by Alan Moore and Peter Hogan, with art by Yanick Paquette, it follows the adventures of Tom Strong and other characters from the America's Best Comics imprint as they uncover a lost civilization beneath the Earth's surface. The collection includes issues #1-6 of the original series.

In "After Antarctica," a mysterious journey through a fractured world brings together Carol, Ms. Masque, and Grant as they track down the elusive Tom Strange—only to uncover something far more unsettling than they expected. Meanwhile, Scarab and Liberator face their own grim discovery in the ruins of a forgotten past, while Carol confronts a haunting presence tied to her father’s legacy. Written by Alan Moore and Peter Hogan, with striking art by Yanick Paquette and inks by Karl Story, this pivotal issue blends eerie mystery with emotional depth, all rendered in vivid colors by Jeromy Cox and sharp lettering by Todd Klein. The cover, also by Paquette and Story, captures the story’s brooding atmosphere.
