About this Collection

This collection reprints the first seven issues of the acclaimed series by Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse, introducing the titular Tom Strong—a scientifically enhanced, retro-futuristic hero from Millennium City. The stories blend pulp adventure, science fiction, and superheroics, with Tom facing threats like the villainous Paul Saveen and exploring his own origins on the mysterious island of Attabar Teru.

In "How Tom Strong Got Started," Alan Moore and Chris Sprouse launch the legendary series with a vivid origin that traces Tom Strong’s roots from his isolated upbringing on the mysterious Attabar Teru to his rise as a hero. Raised by the Ozu after his parents’ tragic death, Tom’s journey—from mastering his intellect to shaping history—begins long before the sky car chase that opens the story. The cover by Chris Sprouse captures the moment with striking clarity, setting the tone for a tale that blends scientific wonder with personal legacy.
