Showcase Presents: Dial H For Hero

An expert in the field of cryogenics, Victor Fries led a relatively normal existence. He worked diligently and married a woman named Nora who then became terminally ill. To stop her degenerative disease from taking her life, Victor put her into suspended animation. But a horrible lab accident transformed the former Dr. Fries into an ice-colored monstrosity incapable of surviving above freezing temperatures. To counteract this, Victor constructed a special, ultra-durable suit to keep his body alive. He embraced his new persona and became Mr. Freeze. Mr. Freeze is on a constant quest to bring back his beloved Nora, and he'll do whatever it takes to succeed. He wields a freeze gun and uses ice and cold to wreak havoc--mostly in Gotham and against Batman. BATMAN ARKHAM: MISTER FREEZE collects some of the villain's greatest stories by some of the industry's greatest creators, including Paul Dini (BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES), Scott Synder (BATMAN), James Tynion IV (DETECTIVE COMICS), Jason Fabok (JUSTICE LEAGUE), Charlie Adlard (WALKING DEAD), Mark Buckingham (FABLES) and many more!

Written by one of comics’ most critically acclaimed authors, Gardner Fox, and presented in hardcover is ADAM STRANGE: THE SILVER AGE OMNIBUS. Born at the dawn of the Space Age, planet-hopping adventurer Adam Strange embodies America’s fascination with all things extraterrestrial. Debuting in 1958 in the pages of DC Comics’ SHOWCASE, Adam Strange was an archaeologist working in South America when he was whisked away by a Zeta Beam to the futuristic planet Rann, which circled the star Alpha Centauri. There, the displaced Earthman met and fell in love with the beautiful Alanna and kicked off a series of intergalactic adventures that bounced him back and forth on the Zeta Beam like a yo-yo, alternating between his normal life on Earth and defending Rann from a seemingly endless barrage of weird threats and invaders. ADAM STRANGE: THE SILVER AGE OMNIBUS collects the galaxy-spanning adventures of Adam Strange, first published in SHOWCASE #17-19, MYSTERY IN SPACE #53-100 and 102, and STRANGE ADVENTURES #157, 217, 218, 220, 221, 222, 224, 226, 235 and 241-243.
