Gerry Conway is an incredible writer. The entire style and approach to Firestorm by these 2 men is what drew me to revel it as one of my fave comix of all time!

I just found that article recently myself. Al mentioned that he thought he'd shared the image with Back Issue, but I couldn't find it in any of my issues. Turns out I didn't have issue #20. Got some egg on my face about that one. At least no one had seen a colorized version. :) Doug – You are absolutely correct. I just found that article recently myself.

I thought I had seen this cover before so I checked. Turns out this cover has been published before. In the Feb. 2007 issue of Back Issue (#20) from TwoMorrows, they did a great article on the history of Firestorm and his first series. In the article, they show the cover to the unpublished #6 along with a page from the interior. Their artwork is different in that it has the Firestorm logo and the other cover materials on it. Just thought you'd like to know in case you wanted to pick up a copy of BI #20. Doug Hi, Shag! What a great site this is!

Nice job. I am photoshop phobic myself but colouring some B7W images like this sound like a fun way to get over my fears! I just found your site and it takes right back to one of the first series I loved that I could be there at the start for! Thanks! www.comicanuck.com Sweeeeet! Nice job.

Worth mentioning that, to the best of my knowledge, the story intended for the unpublished issues of Vol.1 were serialized as a back-up in The Flash. What a coup!

A title I am a big fan of (Steel, The Indestructible Man) was also caught up in the DC Implosion and cancelled, with the materials from the 6th issue ending up in CCC. The cover to #6 was included (http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/254/ccc2_steel6.gif), and it too is one of the absolute best covers Steel ever had. The interiors of Stee #6 were eventually reprinted in All-Star Squadron #8 and #9, which I was lucky enough to find at the Greenville Comic Con last weekend! Firestorm, luckily, was given a second shot at a solo series. Steel was not so fortunate, but he did get his run in All-Star, at least.
