Tom Strong Book 1 (SC)
Unorthodox American scientist Sinclair Strong had a vision for his only son Tom - to raise him as the perfect human. To do so, he and his wife Susan retreated from civilization in 1899 to the peculiar, remote South Seas island of Attabar Teru. Creating an advanced high-gravity environment for the boy, with revolutionary teaching tools and a special diet, Sinclair and Susan began the bold social experiment, and Tom developed with unusual strength and intelligence. When tragedy struck the family, it was the native Ozu people who helped Tom continue his unique upbringing and prepared him for a life of invention, exploration and adventure that came to span the 20th century.
America began to marvel at Tom's story and abilities when he first arrived in Millenium City in the 1920s, becoming its science-hero champion. Tom's long life and vitality have kept him in that role ever since, with the help of his Ozu wife Dhalua, their daughter Tesla, robot assistant Pneuman, and intelligent ape accomplice King Solomon. It hasn't been an easy life, as one menace after another has arisen to challenge the family, but Tom continues to meet those challenges head on, showing no signs of his age. Join him now, from the very beginning to the latest evil conspiracy, as Tom Strong and his companions careen from one deadly threat to another in a triumph of epic storytelling, thought-provoking concepts, breathtaking artwork, and high adventure!
