Tom Strong (Volume 1) with a cover date of March, 2000.
Synopsis for "Sons and Heirs"
Dhalua, Telsa, and Solomon fly towards Saveen's lair to rescue Tom. Meanwhile, Tom struggles with the idea of Albrecht's existence, and is horrified to witness evidence of his Nazi indoctrination. When his son violently rejects Tom's offer of rehabilitation under his wing, Tom activates Parallax's Time Viewer, which he sets to the year 2050. It shows a future where although Tom has aged considerably, he remains in fighting shape due to regular Goloka balm infusions, as well as other advanced medical procedures. After defeating Telsa, Pneuman, and Augustus (Solomon's son), Albrecht faces his father in battle. Although his weaponry is based on Saveen's superior photon technology, the juvenile Albrecht proves to be no match for his father in the end.
When the future transmission ends, Albrecht smashes the machine in anger. Due to information gleaned while watching, Tom is able to deduce that Saveen didn't actually survive their last encounter, and it was his old face-changing enemy Denby Jilks impersonating him. Tom further deduces that he must have been hired to assume Saveen's identity and fortune after his passing. Before Weiss and Albrecht can abandon Jilks, Tom's three teammates finally arrive, and Dhalua puts the fear of God into Weiss, who vows never to return. Tom takes Jilks to his laboratory to study the mechanism that allows him to change his face, and the Strongmen of America celebrate the turn of the century.
