Adam Strange

Born at the dawn of the Space Age, planet-hopping adventurer Adam Strange embodies America s fascination with all things extraterrestrial. Debuting in 1958 in the pages of DC Comics SHOWCASE, Adam Strange was an archaeologist working in South America when he was whisked away by a Zeta Beam to the futuristic planet Rann, which circled the star Alpha Centauri. There, the displaced Earthman met and fell in love with the beautiful Alanna and kicked off a series of intergalactic adventures that bounced him back and forth on the Zeta Beam like a yo-yo, alternating between his normal life on Earth and defending Rann from a seemingly endless barrage of weird threats and invaders. ADAM STRANGE: THE SILVER AGE VOL. 1 collects the galaxy-spanning adventures of Adam Strange, first published in SHOWCASE #17-19 and MYSTERY IN SPACE #53-79.
