Several color guides to Firestorm The Nuclear Man covers have recently surfaced on eBay. One particular color guide worth noting is the cover to Firestorm The Nuclear Man #53. Not only does it show how coloring was done in the 1980s, it also reveals there was a name change for the villain of this issue! Apparently the villain "Silver Shade" was originally planned to be called "Silver Shadow." I'm guessing the name change occurred due to the character "Silver Shadow" who appeared in Dave Cockrum's The Futurians in 1984 (from Marvel, then Lodestone Comics). Not a tremendous difference in the overall scheme of things, but this was Firestorm co-creator Gerry Conway's last issue on the book. So really, this is the final villain Gerry created for the Nuclear Man to fight. That makes it worth noticing.
