Now, those classic Silver Age tales are revisited in ADAM STRANGE ARCHIVES Vol. 1, a 224-page hardcover collecting stories from SHOWCASE #17-19 and MYSTERY IN SPACE #53-65! These issues were written by Gardner Fox and feature the pencils of Mike Sekowsky and Carmine Infantino, with inks by Bernard Sachs, Joe Giella and Murphy Anderson.

Adam Strange was an archaeologist working in South America who was whisked away by a Zeta-Beam to the futuristic planet Rann that circled the star Alpha Centauri. There, the displaced Earthman began a string of adventures that found him bouncing back and forth between his normal life on Earth and defending Rann from bizarre menaces all at the whim of the Zeta-Beam!]

The Man of Two Worlds (3-issue mini; w Richard Bruning; a Andy Kubert). [From DC Comics: Once Adam Strange was celebrated as a hero of two worlds—his homeworld of Earth and his adopted world of Rann. Now… He's in danger of losing them BOTH. All life forms on the planet Rann are facing extinction because of mysterious increasing sterility. Because of the bleak future of the planet, Adam is held in contempt by much of the populace, but there is a glimmer of hope: Adam's wife, Alanna, is expecting a child... In The Man of Two Worlds, we discover the man behind the myth. Adam Strange's childhood on Earth is explored, his relationship with his estranged family is revealed, and secrets of Rann—and of Adam's new life—are uncovered. The Man of Two Worlds collects the 1990 3-issue Prestige Format minseries starring one of the DCU's best-known science fiction heroes, written by Richard Bruning (Gangland) with art by Origin's Andy Kubert and color art by Adam Kubert (Ultimate X-Men). In addition, this volume features a new introduction by Brunning as well as sketchbook material from Andy Kubert.]

Heroic adventurer Adam Strange was ready to abandon Earth and join his wife and daughter on his adopted homeworld of Rann forever, but the newly perfected Zeta-Beam that was to transport him there never came. Now he's trapped on Earth, desperate with worry that something terrible may have happened to his world and his family. But the truth is far worse than even his darkest imaginings. Something terrible is coming. And an ordinary Earthman may be the only thing that stands in the way of universal Armageddon!]
