So I largely gave up on Tom Strong with book 4, but then when I heard that Moorcock was writing part of book 6, I had to pick it up, and filled in book 5 to finish the collection. I've never thought that Strong was Moore's strongest title in the ABC series; the pulpish deconstruction had been done before. Moore abandoning the title in these last volumes to a rotating array of writers didn't help either. So, this volume was largely mediocre, with me really only finding it worthwhile because I'm a Moorcock fan. 
 The Black Blade of the Barbary Coast (31-32). A nice crossover with Moorcock's Metatemporal Detective, though I suspect it might be over the head of readers not familiar with Moorcock's series. It's a bit simplistic in the end for its capture-the-flag plot, but it's still mostly a fun read [6+/10]. 
 The Journey Within (33). An amusing take on Fantasy Voyage with some nice philosophy at the end, but nothing about the story stands out [5/10]. 
 The Spires of Samakhara (34). A neat mystery as the fictional world intersects with Tom's reality. The actual revelations that end it are a bit more mundane, but it's a neat setup [6+/10]. 
 Cold Calling (35). A nice twist on a simple pulp story, but ultimately it's once again pretty shallow [5+/10]. 
 The End of the World (36). Some fun crossovers, but the story really excels in its look at Tom's backstory. Still, it's a story that he's mainly a viewer in, not an actor [6+/10].
