When initially solicited, it was to include further Adam Strange material from Showcase and World's Finest but in the end DC decided to cut the book off in the early 1970's and 848 pages.The book begins with an introduction by Jim Amash, repurposed from the first archive. The collection proper starts with Adam Strange's first appearances in the Showcase tryout issues. Originally headlined "Adventures on Other Worlds" these three issues establish the feature's premise of the zeta beam and how it bounces Strange back and forth between Earth and Rann, a planet revolving about the star Alpha Centauri. His supporting cast is introduced, his girlfriend Alanna and her father Sardath. Mike Sekowsky does a good workman like job drawing these issues and Gardner Fox does the writing.The feature really gets going when it lands a permanent place in the science fiction comic Mystery in Space. Carmine Infantino comes on board as the feature's new penciller. He immediately designs Adam's classic red and white uniform and Alanna's blue and yellow outfit. He also draws Ranagar much like he drew Central City in the contemporary Flash book as a metropolis sitting in the middle of nowhere. All looks gorgeous, especially Alanna, who looks well worth the whole bother of being jerked back and forth between planets. Infantino was a rather loose penciller so the contribution of his inkers can't be overlooked. His normal inker was the great Murphy Anderson but he looked just as good inked by Sid Greene. Joe Giella and Bernard Sachs were less effective.Fox's scripts were also usually first rate. He was initially restricted to 9 pages per issue which meant his first stories were heavily plot driven with little scope for characterization and a larger cast. Later the feature expanded to 15 pages and occasionally full length. He tended to depict Rand not as an integrated world but as a patchwork quilt of different societies to serve the plot at hand, much like Burroughs' Barsoom or Raymond's Mongo. The page count was down to 12 pages when Hawkman was added as a feature in Mystery in Space but this was towards the end of the feature's heyday. Editor Julius Schwartz was given the task of revitalizing the Batman franchise and took Infantino and Anderson with him.The Adam Strange feature was left in the hands of writer Dave Wood and artist Lee Elias. Wood's scripts were generally up to par but Elias just did not have the same feel for the feature as Infantino. He draws Adam without his helmet which just looks strange, no pun intended. Adam Strange at this time was sharing the book with the Space Ranger and an interesting concept tried out a couple of times was a team up of sorts as Adam would deal with a menace in the present and the Space Ranger would deal with it in the future with the help of Adam's descendant, Alan.The book closes with two original stories from the 1970s (one in prose) in Strange Adventures. The new covers for reprinted stories are also featured.This collection is highly recommended even if one already has the three archives. The collection contains everything in the archives but at a slightly larger size. In addition the reader will get the Wood/Elias Adam Strange and the "Adam" Strange Adventures stories and covers. The new material is not up to the classic Fox/Infantino/Anderson work but not without interest.The big downside to this collection is the aforementioned scaling back of the contents after solicitation. Many buyers felt robbed and I can sympathize. I have a quibble about not reprinting the covers of the issues where Adam Strange wasn't the cover feature but that is a minor nit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A whole lot of fun for fans of classic comics with beautifully reproduced artwork *by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2017* I had never read an Adam Strange story before seeing this volume. I bought one issue for the Kindle just to sample it and absolutely loved it, so I ordered the whole omnibus. (Pretty risky, I know.)This hardcover collects every appearance of Adam Strange in the Silver Age from his debut in Showcase to his regular appearances in Mystery in Space to Strange Adventures and even includes an issue of Hawkman drawn by Joe Kubert. The artwork is gorgeous with most of the stories drawn by Carmine Infantino and inked by Murphy Anderson with a few covers by Gil Kane. I especially enjoyed the early stories drawn by Mike Sekowsky. The artwork is beautifully reproduced on a nice coated matte paper with bright colors.The stories were written by Gardner Fox and are your typical 1960s science fiction. They're fun if a little dated.The cover by Darwyn Cooke is what initially attracted me. It's very different from his usual style, but fits this collection perfectly and reflects the sense of fun and adventure to be found inside.If you are a fan of classic comics, I think you'll love this. It's a whole lot of fun. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars The new Adam Strange Omnibus from D.C. Comics. *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2017* The new July 2017 edition of The Silver Age Adam Strange Omnibus is well worth the money for anyone who is or was a fan of the series. The Omnibus starts out with the introduction of Adam Strange in issues 17 through 19 of “Showcase Comics”. It goes on to cover Mystery in Space 53 to 100 and 102 and Hawkman 18. The covers for Strange Adventures 157, 217, 218, 220, 221, 222, 224, 226, 235, 241, 242, and 243 are included in the back on the book. They have included small biographies in the back for all the people who have had and influence on Adam Strange during the Silver Age. They also added a never before published story.The stories are reproduced on a high quality shiny paper, you can see the glare in my photos.The book’s binding looks good, it’s not as well made as some of the Marvel Omnibus books I have, but it should hold up well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44591975-adam-strange-the-silver-age-omnibus-hardcover-july-25-2017](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44591975-adam-strange-the-silver-age-omnibus-hardcover-july-25-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
