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 history where a single shift in fate leads to a very different legacy. This pivotal issue introduces Tom Stone, born of a union that defied his world’s norms, setting the stage for a heroic journey shaped by unlikely alliances and a team forged in defiance. Chris Sprouse’s striking cover captures the moment’s weight, while the interior art by Ordway and Story brings this twisted past to life with vivid detail.
