Synopsis for "Strange Reunion"
October 12, 2000: A meteor Tom Strong has been tracking crashes into a condemned tenement building, reducing it to rubble. Moving in to investigate, Tom is attacked by a man from the crater. Strong proves no match for him, but the man calms down and collapses.
With help from his famiily, Strong takes the man back to the Stronghold, where he reveals the strange visitor is none other than his counter part from a parallel world - "Doc" Tom Strange from Terra Obscura. Strange had literally run across the Milky Way Galaxy for Strong's help - for 30 years without rest.
Strange reveals that when astronauts landed on his Moon in 1969, it unleashed a powerful alien that had lain dormant for billions of years. Traveling to the Earth's Sout Pole, it proceeded to begin some sort of mining operation and killing or imprisoning Terra Obscura's Science Heroes. The Terror told Tom to go get help, just before his death at the hands of the alien's drones.
Strange came for help. Tom Strong traveled back with him a hypersaucer in a few days. Strong told Strange that comic books of his allies adventures had been published on Earth since the 1940's.
Arriving, they find a number of Science Heroes imprisioned in time-looping green spheres and the alien converting the Earth into a new spaceship.
Notes
