Summary:

"Every 62 days, 16 minutes and 5 seconds, archaeologist Adam Strange travels the earth to intercept the mysterious Zeta-Beam which will teleport him to the futuristic world of wonder called Rann, a planet 25 trillion miles from earth and orbiting the star Alpha Centauri. There the displaced earthman takes the role as defender of Rann. With the love of his life, the beautiful Alanna, daughter of Rann's leading scientist, they embark on a series of adventures against all types of space menaces, as Adam Strange bounces back and forth between his normal life on earth and his adopted planet Rann -- always at the whim of the Zeta-Beam"--P. [4] of cover.
