Tom Strong. Book 1 by Alan Moore, Chris Sprouse, and others. 208 pp.
Tom Strong is Alan Moore's take on the pulp hero idea of "child raised by scientific methods becomes superhuman, fights crime, the people love him." On the one hand Moore is doing a tribute to all of the good, fun stuff that has been done with this idea; on the other hand, he's gently mocking it too. Since I love pulp heroes, this is one of my favorite Alan Moore titles.
