Strange Love Adventures #1 variant cover (Image credit: Amanda Conner/Paul Mounts (DC))The title of the book, ‘Strange Love Adventures,’ is a play on the name of the classic DC sci-fi anthology Strange Adventures, which ran for 244 issues across the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s. For the last few years of its original run, Strange Adventures focused primarily on Adam Strange and the Atomic Knights. The ‘Strange Adventures’ name was resurrected recently for the Adam and Alanna Strange series by Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Evan ‘Doc’ Shaner.
Strange Love Adventures’ primary cover is by Yanick Paquette and Nathan Fairbairn, with a variant cover expected by Amanda Conner.
