Product Description: Comics scriptwriting supremo Alan Moore leads the way with these fantastical tales of Millennium City's finest 'science hero', Tom Strong. Born on a remote South Seas island, orphaned by his scientist parents and raised by a steam-powered robot butler, Tom Strong is both superhero and pioneer. In this first fantastic volume we witness, among other stories, the debut of sexy heroine Jonni Future and a tale of young Tom Strong! These are just some of the astounding adventures featured in this fabulous first volume of Tom Strong's Terrific Tales, collected together into a sumptuous hardback and featuring artwork by the best of today's comics artists!
Good to see Art Adams Art Overall this book is enjoyable if you are a Tom Strong fan. The 'Terrific Tales' venue allows for different stories than in the regular title, so these stories do a have different flavor to them. Personally, I purchased this book for the Jonni Future stories because of the Art Adams art and the silly pulp feel to them.
Tom, Tom and Jonni in a Racier Title This book collects the first six issues of the title comic. Each issue has stories about Tom Strong (and supporting cast), Young Tom Strong (while he is still a boy), and the time traveling hero Jonni Future (heir to the mantle of Johnny Future).
These stories are racier and more risque that those usually found in the Tom Strong books. For instance, in one story, Tesla Strong sneaks out to party and have sex with an alien. Jonni Future is always in situations that include very buxom women (including herself) and various states of undress.
Overall I found the stories to be entertaining and especially like the classic pulp feel of the Jonni Future stories. Clean art is used in most of the stories and you will probably recognize the work of some of the guest artists. But while humor and action are prevalent readers should be aware of the more adult nature of these stories.
