![]() ![]() Rock is a hard-nosed World War II story, written by Joe and Adam Kubert. Other strips focus on evoking different pulp styles. And I was very glad to see that Alanna takes an active role instead of being a damsel in distress. ![]() The story evokes Edgar Rice Burrough's John Carter series, complete with barbarian outfit for Alanna, Adam's wife. ![]() Adam Strange is a Earth archeologist who is transported across the universe via the intergalactic Zeta Beam to the planet Rann, where he falls in love with the daughter of the local scientist. My personal favorite is Adam Strange, with by story and art by Paul Pope. Krypto the Superdog and Streaky the Supercat are running wild around town and Supergirl is trying to prevent them from causing too much collateral damage, like when Streaky decides to chase an airplane that features a mouse logo. Supergirl, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and art by Amanda Conner, is the most adorable. Gibbons & Sook's version has a Prince Valiant feel and is packed with action, so I can see why my son liked it. Originally created by the great Jack Kirby, Kamandi is the last boy on Earth, lost in a world of intelligent animals. Kamandi, written by Dave Gibbons with art by Ryan Sook, was my youngest son's favorite. ![]()
