Chris Sprouse — Tom Strong Gets Strange

Tom Strong #12, June 2001

Alan Moore has fun with his “silver-age” heroes (Tom Strong and friends) meeting their “golden-age” counterparts (Tom Strange and friends) in this great two-parter.

The entire series is apparently finally getting an omnibus – or compendium, or something — in 2023, and it’s about time. (All of the “America’s Best Comics” material needs the same treatment.) 

Al Gordon provides quality inks for Chris on this early issue, as Sprouse and Karl Story had not yet become a “permanent” pencilling and inking team.

Plus… great cover homages on these early to classic silver age covers. (See below.)
