One of my most anticipated upcoming comic series is Strange Adventures, featuring DC space hero Adam Strange. The award winning Mister Miracle creative team of writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads is back for this series, joined by artist Evan “Doc” Shaner. I’m a big fan of all three of these creators, but because the series isn’t scheduled to come out until 2020, we don’t know a lot about it yet. We do know, from a Mitch Gerads tweet, that the series will be mostly based on the original Gardner Fox/Carmine Infantino Adam Strange comics. So, I tracked down a library copy of the Adam Strange Omnibus and read the entire original Adam Strange run. Armed with that knowledge, and a pretty good knowledge of these creators’ previous work, I set out to explain the character of Adam Strange and make some predictions about the upcoming Strange Adventures.
