Diggle and Ferry’s ADAM STRANGE
Author: Stephen Gerding
June 24th, 2004

Andrew - Strange is cool
Steve - Totally!!! Why is that??
Andrew - I’m not sure — just something about those DC characters
Andrew - the older ones, anyway
Steve - Is that it? I could never figure out why I liked Adam Strange, yet I always have.
Andrew - I feel like it has something to do with DC not taking place in the “real” world like Marvel, but I’m not sure
Steve - That might be part of it, but there’s still some weird attraction the Adam Strange stuff has that I think goes beyond that.
Steve - Adam Strange should just be a watered down Flash Gordon knock off, but somehow, I dig AS a lot more than FG as a character.
Andrew - I haven’t even read that much about him — just know he’s dope
Steve - I don’t think I’ve read too much with him either, really, but when he shows up in a book, I dig on it just a little more.
Andrew - totally
Steve - Always liked his Justice League appearances a lot for some reason.
Andrew - all I remember off hand is the Alan Moore stuff in Swamp think
Steve - Jesus - he’s in ST? I really need to get those TPBs…
Andrew - can get wordy, but man, when it’s good…holy shit
Andrew - “In a guest appearance in Swamp Thing, writer Alan Moore invented a new past for him, one in which the people of Rann were slowly dying out due to declining fertility, and the actual intent of the Zeta Beam was to bring Adam to them as a breeding stud.”
Steve - Wonder if Diggle and Ferry will be following up on that at all?
Andrew - not sure
Steve - Ack. Whatever. Strange rules, Diggle knows how to write and Pascal Ferry’s art has gone from good to amazing.
Steve - Sold.
