Description

Adam Eterno was written from Tom Tully (not the actor) and penciled from Solano Lopez

Adam Eterno is a character who first appeared in IPC's Thunder in 1970, and later, thanks to merges, in Lion (1971-74) and Valiant (1974-76). Created by Thunder assistant editor Chris Lowder and editor Jack LeGrand and initially written by Tom Tully and drawn by Tom Kerr, Adam was a 16th century alchemist's apprentice who drank the elixir of life and was cursed by the alchemist to live forever - the only thing that would release him was a mortal blow from a weapon made of solid gold. In fact, being killed by a gold weapon only sent him to live his eternal life in other times. Towards the end of the Thunder run, Francisco Solano L�pez took over the art. Joe Colquhoun, John Catchpole, Eric Bradbury, Carlos Cruz and Colin Page also drew the strip, and Tod Cowan, Scott Goodall and Donne Avenell also wrote scripts.

__________Tom Tully__________________________

Tom Tully is a noted British comic writer mostly of sports and action stories. He is probably most famous as the longest-running writer of the popular football-themed strip Roy of the Rovers, which he wrote for much of Roy Race's playing career until the weekly comic closed in 1993.

Biography

From 1963 to 1970, Tully was the principal writer on Steel Claw for Valiant with artist Jes�s Blasco, taking over for the fourth serial from Ken Bulmer, and later returning from 1971 to 1973 for the sequel strip, Return of the Claw. He also worked on Kelly's Eye and Janus Stark, and wrote Heros the Spartan with art by Frank Bellamy for Eagle. According to the first printing Paul Scoones's The Comic Strip Companion (2012), Tully was also regular writer on the Doctor Who strip in TV Comic prior to 1966; however subsequent research suggests that the author had confused Tully with another comics writer of this period, Thomas Woodman.

In the 1970s and '80s, he worked on Johnny Red for Battle Picture Weekly. He worked on many 2000 AD projects including Dan Dare, and the sports-related Harlem Heroes and Mean Arena. He also created The Mind of Wolfie Smith for Tornado, which later transferred to 2000 AD.
