Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which artist co-created "Tom Strong"?

Answer: Chris Sprouse

Sprouse, who came to comics in 1989, gained early kudos for titles such as DC's "Legionnaires." His first collaboration with writer Alan Moore was on Rob Liefeld's Superman homage book, "Supreme."

2. Who received his Strongmen of America membership in "Tom Strong" #1?

Answer: Timmy Turbo

The first issue of the series begins with Timmy Turbo receiving a package in the mail; it contains a badge, a certificate, and "Tom Strong" issue #1. (How meta, right?) All for only $9.99!

3. On what island was Tom Strong born?

Answer: Attabar Teru

Timmy Turbo reads Tom Strong's origin story, which begins in 1899, with Sinclair and Susan Strong's ship crashing on Attabar Teru, the island guarded by rainbows. Later in the story, Susan gives birth to their child, whom they name Tom after Tomas Stone, the sailor who died in the shipwreck.

4. Who is Dhalua?

Answer: Tom Strong's wife

Tom and Dhalua were married in a beautiful ceremony on Attabar Teru, as related in issue #1.

5. What does Tom call his home/headquarters?

Answer: The Stronghold

The Stronghold, which is on Anvil Street in Millennium City, is shown and identified on page one of issue #4. With its huge statue of Tom on it, it can't be missed!

6. What is the common exclamation among the Strong family?

Answer: Chukulteh

Chukulteh is the god of Attabar Teru and his name is spoken frequently throughout the series by Tom, Dhalua, and Tesla.

7. What female enemy did Tom first meet on July 6, 1945?

Answer: Ingrid Weiss

Ingrid and her Aryan Angels are first rendered with sexy lines by artist Arthur Adams in issue #4.

8. Who is Tom's arch-nemesis?

Answer: Paul Saveen

Saveen makes his modest entrance as an old man in issue #6. Readers see him at various ages throughout the series. In the closing chapter of the series, he is shockingly revealed to be Tom Strong's brother!

9. What odd physical feature do the people of the town at the Devil's Footstool have?

Answer: A third eye

According to issue #8, the people of this western town were abducted by aliens on New Year's Eve 1849, experimented on, and returned with extra eyes.

10. Who invented the Phantom Autogyro?

Answer: Foster Parallax

It is revealed in issue #10 that the autogyro was the final creation of the famous inventor.

11. Tom has met the hero that he appears to have been modelled on. Who is it?

Answer: Doc Strange

"Doc" Tom Strange, a character from the golden age of comics, arrives in issue #11, needing Strong's help on his home planet of Terra Obscura. The resemblance between them is strong (no pun intended).

12. Who becomes Tesla Strong's boyfriend in issue #15?

Answer: Val Var Garm

Though they start out speaking different languages, he makes his intentions clear when he kisses her. She subsequently punches him, but this feeling doesn't last.

13. In issue #19, what temple does Saveen go searching for?

Answer: Temple of Everlasting Life

This creepy story, written by Alan Moore's daughter Leah, is narrated by Saveen while he is a skeleton!

14. The cover of issue #22, starring Tom Stone, is an homage to what famous comics miniseries?

Answer: Crisis on Infinite Earths

The cover specifically echoes "Crisis" #7, in which Supergirl dies. In fact, the "Tom Strong" story itself is entitled "Crisis in Infinite Hearts" and uses the "Crisis" lettering. That cover has probably been copied more times than any other.

15. Which of the following did NOT write an issue of "Tom Strong"?

Answer: Howard Chaykin

This was a tough one: Chaykin, a writer as well as an artist, DREW "Electric Ladyland!" in issue #19 but did not write it. Johns wrote #25, Vaughn the Pneuman-centered #28, and Brubaker the two-parter in #s 29 & 30.
