The Best of Adam Strange stories. September 29, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Volume 3 of the Adam Strange stories contains the best group of stories.
The story I have always like best is "World War on Earth and Rann."
One of the coolest benefits about Adam Strange stories is the real scientific knowledge that is embedded in the story -- ideas such as Roche's Limit and the Curie Temperature of materials. I actually used that knowledge about Curie temperature once in a satellite power system design.
The Thinking Man's Superhero in some of his best stories! September 23, 2008

Adam Strange was cool. That's all you can say. He was cool. Regularly transported across space by the Zeta beam from Earth to Rann and back again, Adam became the planetary champion of Rann and found himself in a lot of classic Silver Age adventures. And along the way, he also romanced one of the hottest women in Silver Age comics, Alanna, the daughter of Rann's leading scientist, Sardath.
That's all great stuff (especially Infantino's Alanna), but the thing that really sets Adam Strange apart is his inventiveness. Even though Earth is more primitive than Rann, Adam seems to have a lot more creativity when it comes to applying basic scientific principles, and this is how he as an ordinary human being routinely defeats the kinds of menaces that generally only super-humans can handle in comics. Adam Strange is the living embodiment of brain over brawn, and this time, the geek gets the hot chick, too! What more can a guy ask for?
Highly recommended to fans of Silver Age comics!
