Tom Strong 23 page 2 by Sprouse

awesome deal. i was just telling a Anon i wanted to start reading Tom Strong and bam. here it is. Thanks for always Sharing 

This came out during the time after I quit reading and collecting comics and aside from The Authority, I never went back and tried any of this 90's Wildstorm material, not even the Alan Moore stuff. So I therefore have no familiarity with the characters, but I do appreciate Sprouse's simple, clean style and also enjoy images of moon landings. The stark, blackness of space contrasts beautifully with the bright white of the moon.

Tom Strong was a homage to the pulp heroes like Doc Savage and had a classic SciFi feel which I loved.

Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da

Moonday, Moonday (bah-da bah-da-da-da)
So ABC (bah-da bah-da-da-da)
Monday mornin', I was all employed by Jim Lee
Oh Monday mornin', Alan Moore writing guaranteed (bah-da bah-da-da-da)
That Moonday evenin' you would ink by Karl Story

Moonday, Moonday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, Chris Sprouse he just draws clean that way
Oh Monday mornin' you gave me no warnin' you sold to DC
Oh Monday, Monday, how could Tom leave and not take me

Never got my pay, every other day
Never got my pay, every other pay of the week is mine, yeah
But whenever  Moonday comes, but whenever Moonday comes
But whenever Moonday comes, Peter Hogan scriptin' all of the time

One small step for man...

A real lunar feel. Congrats.

Thanks to a fellow Tom Strong fan!
