Strange Adventures by bestselling writer Tom King reinvents one of DC's classic science-fiction adventurers, Adam Strange, examining whether his actions were heroic or disgraceful.

Named one of ALA GNCRT's 2022 Best Graphic Novels for Adults!

Born on Earth and known as the hero of the distant planet Rann, Adam Strange is famed throughout the galaxy for his bravery and honour. After leading his adopted home to victory in a great planetary war, Adam and his wife, Alanna, retire to Earth. They are greeted with cheers, awards, and parades. However, not everything is as it seems, as the decisions Adam made during battles on Rann begin to haunt his family.

It will take an investigation by one of the most brilliant heroes in the DC Universe, Mr. Terrific, to uncover the truth and determine whether Adam Strange is truly a hero or a disgrace.

The Mister Miracle team of writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads, along with fan-favourite artist Evan "Doc" Shaner, brings you an epic tale in the tradition of Watchmen, The Dark Knight Returns, and DC: The New Frontierβ€”a story of blood, war, and love that readers will discuss for years to come.

Collects Strange Adventures #1-12.
