In "How Tom Stone Got Started, Chapter One," Alan Moore and Jerry Ordway launch a bold reimagining of Tom Strong’s origins, exploring an alternate timeline where a single pivotal choice reshapes history—Tom Stone, born to a mother who married a slave, grows up to forge a heroic legacy with Paul Saveen. With Jerry Ordway’s dynamic art and Karl Story’s sharp inks, this issue blends personal drama with the birth of a unique superhero team, all rendered in Dave Stewart’s vivid colors and Todd Klein’s precise lettering. Chris Sprouse’s striking cover captures the moment’s weight, hinting at a legacy built on unexpected beginnings.
In an alternate history where a single choice reshapes destiny, Tom Stone—son of a slave and a woman named Susan—rises from humble beginnings to forge a legacy unlike any other. With Paul Saveen by his side and a world teetering on the edge of chaos, their bond sparks a new kind of heroism in a timeline rewritten by fate.
