☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In a sky car under attack by the Blimp Bandits, young Timmy Turbo finds himself caught in a tale of origins—how Tom Strong, the man who saved him, first rose from the wilds of Attabar Teru. Born to scientist Sinclair Strong and his wife, Tom was raised by the Ozu after his parents' death, shaped by science and legend, and forged into a hero who would one day unite with Dhalua Strong, awaken King Solomon, and give the world a daughter named Tesla.
When the Modular Man erupts from a neighborhood in Millennium City, Tom Strong must navigate a crisis sparked by a creation gone awry. With Tesla Strong rescuing the fanboys who brought him to life, and the mysterious Pneuman watching from the shadows, Tom makes a daring offer—Venus, in exchange for peace. But as the stakes rise, even the legendary King Solomon and the Funt brothers find themselves drawn into a conflict that blurs the line between creator and creation.
In "Aztech Nights," Tom Strong finds himself ensnared by mysterious forces as ancient Aztech ziggurats rise across Millennium City. Freed by Quetzalcoatl-9, an enslaved AI god, Tom must decide how far he’ll go to help a being who claims to be divine—especially when the line between god and machine begins to blur.
In "Memories of Pangaea," Tom Strong journeys to the dawn of time and reconnects with the ancient, advanced Pangaean—only to find himself caught in a cataclysmic asteroid storm. As he narrowly escapes in a time capsule, the fate of the Pangaean remains uncertain, leaving behind only echoes of a civilization far ahead of its time.
In "Dead Man's Hand," Tom Strong confronts a long-buried past when Paul Saveen—secretly Charade—honors his legacy with a revelation that reshapes everything: Albrecht Strong, the son Tom never knew he had, emerges from the shadows. As Dhalua and Tesla stand against the Aryan Angels, the line between memory and mission blurs in a story where legacy isn’t just inherited—it’s reclaimed.
Tom Strong and Greta Gabriel find themselves trapped beneath Paul Dorian Saveen’s Phlogiston Accumulator, forcing a tense confrontation with the man behind the device. When the phlogiston threatens to consume them, Tom steps in to save Greta—only to face Saveen, whose fate hangs in the balance.
