	..:: The Tom and Jerry Online :: An Unofficial Site ::..
		Tom is a fiendish opportunist, always anxious to ingratiate himself with the powers that be, wether housekeeper, dog, or even, on occasion, mouse; while Jerry, the impish schemer, is happy minding his own business until cornered, piqued or generally provoked.
		Tom was given Boris Karloff eyebrows that enhanced his diabolical demeanor, and in many poses bears a strong resemblance to Bugs himself, with a tail and cropped ears.
		Tom and Jerry had always been backstage buddies, and in their latest incarnation they were pals on-screen as well, spending their cartoon hour in friendly competition, solving mysteries and helping others.

		The main premise is simple: Tom Strong was born on a mystical island by means of a somewhat cold and heartless experiment conducted by his dad.
		Although he is 99 years old, Tom is still as energetic and powerful as ever -- and he is still having adventures, both in Millennium City as well as everywhere else in the world.
		Tom Strong is an adventurous, plot-driven book, containing simple, positive themes, which are demonstrated by the villains Stong faces or by the situations in which Strong finds himself embroiled.

	Tom Strong - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Forged in science and nature, Tom is obligated to return to his mother and father's Western world and become the force for Reason and Food that he was invariably designed to be.
		For this reason, Tom Strong comes built with its own mythology: the Island of Attabar Teru, Tom's wife Dhuala, his daughter Tesla, their adoptive home of Metropolis-meets-Brazil Millennium City, his genius ape sidekick King Solomon, his steam-robot servant Pneuman, and his Rogue's Gallery consisting of Paul Saveen, the Modular Man, and the Pangean.
		Tom Strong, the product of the lost pulp/serial heroes and modernity's yen for realism, could just be the right man for the job.

		Tom Strong and Paul Saveen were enemies from the moment that they met, and were destined to clash in battle many times across the next few decades.
		Dhalua dolls, spark-spitting Tom Strong ray-guns and, most sought-after of all, miniature clockwork replicas of the adventurer's mechanical companion Pneuman filled the nation's toy shops, while its magazine racks bulged with first with pulp magazines, then later comic books, in which were detailed adventures of Strong and his friends, both genuine and fictional.
		As both he and the city that is his adopted home move inexorably towards their hundredth birthdays on the stroke of the millennium, let us be confident that for Tom Strong, Millennium City, and the world in general, all the most hair-raising thrills and most spectacular surprises are yet to come.

		She lived with the tribe community of the island, the Ozu, and was daughter to the king.
		All that is required to know of the character Tom for this writing is that he was raised under special circumstances to be super strong and vastly intelligent.
		As Tom was raised in a way that left him almost completely devoid of emotions, they fill that void by keeping the family strong and providing the emotional backbone and strength that Tom lacks.

	The Friday Review: Tom Strong Book One
		TOM STRONG is a pulpy, good-hearted homage to the comic book forbears of those first superheroes, Superman and Batman, with Doc Savage probably the prime model among them.
		Strong is broad-shouldered, broad-jawed and possessed of a never-wavering confident stare.
		So, while TOM STRONG may be a fun read, and a fine homage to those pulpy heroes of old, much like potato chips, it leaves you feeling hungry once you're finished.

		Issue #6 really show cases this, when Tom's viewing the future he watches his son attack members of the Strongmen of America, the kids, now all grown, aged and decrept and apparently poorish, are saved by Tom, who's technology keeps him forever young, powerful, and wealthy.
		Tom Stong has all this fabulous technology, stays young, etc.; the kids age, live in slums, etc.; maybe it's not so much that he's suppressing them as he is letting them live as normally as possible.
		Tom Strong comments that fascists wallow in their own nostalgia, and are creatures of habit, but blatently acts the same way.

	Comics to Read on the Bus - Tom Strong
		However, with "Tom Strong", Alan Moore, Chris Sprouse and Al Gordon have created something wonderful, a book that restores that same sense of adventure, intrigue, and excitement that I got from those Bantam paperbacks of so long ago, without sacrificing the intelligence or quality that I demand from my choice of reading materials today.
		Tom is a much larger than life character, physically and mentally.
		The details of the characters past are different in many ways from that of the good Doc, not least importantly in the fact that Tom has a wife and daughter, and all the familial concerns that go along with it.

	Tom Strong #13 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Tom Strong simply wanders through each issue fighting the good fight, standing in the path of evil, and all while lacking an interesting personality.
		Well, the return of the multiple artists is a bit disappointing, as while it does allow one to see Tom Strong from a variety of different artists, the sudden change in styles is a bit jarring, and frankly none of the other artists are quite as good as Chris Sprouse.
		However, the young Tom sequence was decidedly lacking in detail, and the sense of grandeur that it is asked to present.

		Strong and two scientists investigate a gaping hole in the Arctic tundra, believed to be left by Nazi leaders and scientists after the war.
		At first, I thought the forbidden area the curious young Tom Strong was exploring was the wreck of his parents' ship, but such was not the case, it turns out.
		It's too bad Tom Strong's voice is normally a distant one, as it works against the more impetuous, youthful tone of the character in his story.

		Tom Strong returns as the interplanetary, interdimensional "science-hero." Created by acclaimed comics writer Moore (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; From Hell), Tom follows in the tradition of the sci-fi pulp hero, with elements of modern-day realism.
		Tom travels with his interracial superhero family, including Dhulua and their daughter, Tesla, a gutsy heroine-in-training.
		Notable stories include "Tom Strange," in which Tom's parallel universe twin seeks help for his besieged earthlike planet, and "Tom Strong and the Phantom Autogyro," where Tom takes hold of a dimension-penetrating vehicle and pays a fateful visit to the realm of the half-dead.

	The Comics Get Serious--Review of Tom Strong
		Tom Strong is the 99-year-old hero of Millennium City.
		The book starts with Tom's origin intermingled with several confrontations (past and present) and the newest member of the Strongmen of America, who is so fascinated by the comic detailing Tom's origin that he completely misses Tom's real-world mid-air heroics outside his cable car.
		Promethea and Tom Strong are yin and yang to one another; Promethea is supposed to be an archetypal female heroine, and Tom Strong a classic male hero.

	Tom Strong, Alan Moore
		Raised on a tropical island by his father, a brilliant scientist, Tom Strong was meant to be the perfect human specimen.

		Such is the premise of Tom Strong: Book One, the trade paperback collection of the first seven issues of the series published by America's Best Comics.

		Craig immediately smelled a rat because Nick had in turn hinted to him that he had voted Tom out, and that he expected Craig to be one of the last three contestants still in the house.
		At the Big Brother house meeting, Tom, who has become known to viewers as the strong quiet Irishman, was as vocal as the six other remaining housemates about his "disappointment" and "disgust" at Nick's behaviour.
		Tom has only been nominated to leave to house once so far, and was not voted out by the public.

		They are not helpless, for Dr. Strong has managed to save most of his scientific equipment and constructs a robot to help build a shelter.
		When they have a son, Dr. Strong decides to use him as an experimental subject — isolated in a heavy gravity environment, raised on a vegetarian diet, and educated in academic subjects at an early age.
		Tom Strong's wife and daughter fight alongside him, and he also has his father's robot, Pneuman, and an intelligent ape, King Solomon, as aides and allies.

		Tom Strong purposefully takes an overdose of a powerful, cosmic drug called Goloka, and it opens the door to a journey through the vastness of the universe and the vastness of self.
		And Tom Strong, during his younger days growing up in a tropical paradise, happens upon the home of an ancient -- and dangerous -- people.
		The Young Tom Strong story is rather run-of-the-mill, and again, seemed to be ultimately pointless.

		Unfortunately, the Strongs do not live to see the results, as an earthquake takes their lives when Tom is only eight.
		Tom and his extended family protect Millennium City from the likes of the diabolical Paul Saveen, the menacing artificial intelligence known as The Modular Man, a bunch of conquering Aztecs from an alternate universe, the alluring but deadly Swastika Girls, and the primordial life form known as the Pangaean.
		And, while the characterization in Tom Strong is on the flat side, it's an appropriate choice of tone for the series and doesn't stop the characters from being very entertaining.

	Tom Strong Book 2 - Alan Moore, Chris Sprouse, Alan Gordon - Graphic novel review
		If, like us, the main thing that bugged you about the first collected Tom Strong book was the supposed comedic support offered by the bickering between Strong's robotic manservant and hyper-intelligent gorilla side-kick, you'll be pleased to hear they take a backseat in this second collection.
		Both Tom Strange (from Terra Obscura) and Johnny Future (the father of Jonni Future from Tom Strong's Terrific Tales) appear here, ready and waiting for their further adventures to be expanded upon.
		It's female characters help enormously to ground Tom's macho elements, and the reduction in importance of those cheesey side-kicks has, at least in our opinion, pulled this series from the mire.

		It is this kind of character (and we're particularly reminded of Doc Savage) that Alan Moore has based Tom Strong on.
		Strong was raised on an island by his Victorian scientist parents and its native inhabitants.
		Kept in a container with a gravitational force five times that of Earth until he is 11, Strong emerges as a superhuman teenager who eventually travels back to America, lives for over a century and fights crime.

	A letter to Tom Strong
		Story is always a complex interface of perception and "fact." When I tell my story to an intimate other, my perception of my experience may of course conflict with theirs in problematic ways.
		Whereas when a client tells me the story of an event (as Tom Flynn told you about the massacre), I usually have no concern whatsoever with how their perception might differ from another person's.
		Even if their story is about their relationship with me, and seems (in my view) to be distorting the "facts," I have no difficulty in engaging in a dialogue that is curious and compassionate.
