From the ocean's depths to volcanic caverns to the star-strewn
reaches of outer space, join Tom Strong as he battles Earth's
foes, with the help of wife Dhalua, daughter Tesla, and friends...
Book
Three in the Tom Strong collection ups the stakes
considerably. It is almost as though Alan Moore has gone away
and taken another look at his hero and decided that a few
tweaks were in order.
The
writing is stronger and more engaging in this collection than
Book Two was. The
characters are used to push the narrative forward, as opposed
to being stuck in for a little light relief as they were in
some of the weird stories in Book Two.
There
are also some fantastically conceived designs throughout this
collection. I particularly like the gemsuits and the "space
horses" - there is a whole sequence with them that reminded
me of the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars.
Apart
from my earlier slight moan this is a good, solid collection
that will appeal to comic readers who don't usually go for
Tom Strong collections.
