More like he hates my guts after lugging this 850 page behemoth up to my door. I’ve got the two Silver Age Omnibuses for the Legion of Super-Heroes, and now today, I have the omnibus for DC’s John Carter rip-off character, Adam Strange. Don’t get me wrong, I love the character. I probably even prefer him. DC Comics really used the better idea by having Adam be an archeologist and an adventurer who needs to travel the Earth constantly looking for another Zeta beam to take him home to his beloved.

This massive slab of book is beautifully recolored and reprints all of Adam Strange’s appearances in SHOWCASE #17-19, MYSTERY IN SPACE #53-100 and 102, and STRANGE ADVENTURES #157, 217, 218, 220, 221, 222, 224, 226, 235 and 241-243. Takes you from 1958 all the way to the 1970s. Great stories from Gardner Fox, Dave Wood, Jerry Siegel, and Denny O’Neil and amazing art from Carmine Infantino, Mike Sekowsky, Murphy Anderson, and more. A perfect slice of The Silver Age of American Comic Books.

Not sure when the hell I’ll ever get to read this, but it’s looking like I can start at Christmas.
