slothian Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Not entirely sure if this is the right folder, but ho hum... Over the weekend I picked up my first ever non-Simpsons comic - the collected works of Watchmen. And that's bloody brilliant. But for buying it, I got a free sampler of other Alan Moore-created characters. And whilst there were quite a few characters that looked intersting, I gravitated most towards the comics pertaining to Tom Strong. The sampler covered the character's background, then had a "Young Tom Strong" comic further on and a short comiv where his daughter flies his jet to another planet for a night out, without any dialogue whatsoever. Anyone else come across this? Oh, and there's a gorilla called King Solomon. His dialogue is the way I think I sound to all Americans when I appear on the podcasts.....

Dan Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Tom Strong (and, in fact, most of Moore's America's Best Comics line) was sheer brilliance. God, that book was so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Top Ten was far and away the best ABC book if you ask me, but Tom Strong was solid, too. I really enjoyed the digest-style format, but thought it sometimes got too cutesy and Saturday morning for its own good. Could never get too heavily into Promethea, and while the League was good fun, I didn't develop the attachment for it that I did with Top Ten.
