Summary: Fun read...
Comment: This collection contains the first seven issues of the ongoing 'Tom Strong' series. In creating Tom Strong, Alan Moore has combined many of the archetypal characteristics of the heroes from pulp magazines (especially Doc Savage), but at the same time updated the concept for the 21st century, providing readers with the enthralling adventures of the premier science hero of Millenium City.
Worth mentioning is the fact that Moore avoids the typical flaws of the superhero genre with his use of accurate characterisation, fantastic settings, cunning villains and even a plot twist or two, which in the end make reading this book a truly fun experience.
With Tom Strong Alan Moore evokes the energy of the classic Jack Kirby run on Fantastic Four. This work truly helps revitalize the comic book medium.

Summary: "A true masterpiece" ,or,"Alan Moore latest GN"
Comment: This, next to Watchmen, is one of the greatest comic books I have ever read because it has one key element that many comics lack ever since the grim and gritty age. It starts out with an interesting premise: what if a man wanted to make his son a perfect human being by educating him in the far-off island of Attabar Teru, away from societies influence.
By raising him in a low gravity enviroment with his robot nanny, Phneuman and feeding him lots of the goloka root, which gives longevity and physical prowess, he becomes as it seems throughout the book, to become a human version of superman. When Tom turns 11 a quake hits Attabar Teru, and both his parents are killed so he is raised by the Attabar Teru trbe(not very unlike peacful indians.)When he grows up, he heads off to Millenium city and becomes a super hero, or science-hero as their universe calls them.And while the story is incredible, so is the art. Chris Sprouse is the perfect guy to draw Tom Strong because Tom Strong is supposed to be an incredibly smart and, well...,strong version of the BFG, a big guy who makes us all feel safer. I also liked the brief reuniting of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons in the sixth chapter. Overal, this is one of the best graphic novels of all time,suitable for all ages, and something you should read right now!

Summary: true pulp comics.
Comment: This follows Tom Strong from his chilhood on a mysterious island where his parents trained him on a harsh gravity, to his most recent adventures as he nears the age of 100.
Teaming up with his wife, daughter, butler robot, and super smart ape.
The first three issues are okay, but it really works in the last four, showing one of the coolest characters of all time, the Pangean.
This is an okay book and if you like Alan Moore and have a few bucks, pick this up.
