Jamal Igle (former Firestorm vol III artist and current Supergirl artist) has been kind enough to grant permission to republish some Firestorm sketches from his blog. Jamal had a great run on Firestorm vol III, drawing issues #8-#32. In addition to Firestorm drawings, Jamal’s blog also features other amazing artwork, updates on current projects, and his convention schedule. You can visit Jamal’s blog by clicking here. Be sure to stop by and tell him FIRESTORM FAN sent you!
Also, be sure to support Jamal’s current work on Supergirl. Supergirl #43 ships this week – check it out!
