Terra Obscura

Terra Obscura was the title of two limited series about the Science Heroes of the amazing parallel world of Terra Obscura.

The characters populating the series were updated version of various public domain characters originally published by Nedor Comics (also known as Standard, Better, and Pines). Some of them were featured in a series called America's Best Comics, coincidentally the name of the publishing imprint Alan Moore was using to publish Tom Strong. When that was pointed out to him, Moore decided to use the characters in a modern context, in Tom Strong #11 and Tom Strong #12. Moore and Peter Hogan then revived the characters in two limited series.
