Remember Captain X on Memorial Day
Captain X was a U.S. aviator during World War II. He was originally attached to Britain’s Royal Air Force, but once the U.S. entered the war he was transferred to new duties behind enemy lines. After WWII, he continued to operate during the Cold War. Captain X’s secret identity was Richard “Buck” Dare, a reporter […]
Lil’ Stormy
This funny little guy first appeared in the letters page of Firestorm #91. He appeared a few more times before the end of the series, each time with a different quote. To my knowledge he was never given a name, nor was it revealed who drew the caricature of the Elemental Firestorm. I think he’s […]
Firestorm en Español: La Guerra de los Elementales
Back in 1990, Firestorm was featured in a Spanish reprint comic entitled DC Premiere. While DC Premiere ran 18 issues, Firestorm only appeared in two of them. If I understand correctly, these two issues reprinted Firestorm #90-93, the four issues that made up the “Elemental War”. Other series reprinted in DC Premiere include: Doctor Fate, […]

Feuersturm gegen Schwarzer Bison
In 1984 a German comic entitled Superman’s Freunde #4 (translated as Superman’s Friends) featured Firestorm. Below you’ll find the cover which reused artwork from the cover to Fury of Firestorm #2 by Pat Broderick. The cover text translates as “Firestorm against Black Bison”. It’s such a surreal cover anyway, but with the Mexican-looking “Feuersturm” logo […]
