One of the coolest aspects of each Who’s Who issue was the amazing wrap-around cover! Check out this impressive Paris Cullins and Dick Giordano cover for Volume VII! Click the image to enlarge.
Here are your Firestorm-related Who’s Who entries from this issue…
The only Firestorm-centric character this time around is the Enforcer drawn by Rafael Kayanan and Gary Martin! Since this is a split-page entry, you get the additional bonus of checking out the Pre-Crisis Eradicator! You lucky devils! Click the image below to enlarge!
While not specific to just Firestorm, the Nuclear Man was a member of the Satellite-era Justice League along with the Elongated Man, drawn here by Carmine Infantino and Dick Giordano! Click the image to enlarge!
Finally, we have Dolphin by Dave Stevens! Firestorm and Dolphin appeared together in Crisis on Infinite Earths! … Okay, my reasoning for featuring Dolphin here is really weak, but can you blame me?

Go buy Justice League #16 right now! Why? Because it’s a really great installment in the “Throne of Atlantis” storyline! And because this happened…
Now for a nice close-up with a transplanted word balloon…

It had to happen sooner or later … Firestorm versus The Hulk! Super-Team Family proudly presents Firestorm vs. The Hulk in, “Meltdown in Manhattan!”
No, you didn’t miss an actual inter-company crossover starring the Nuclear Man and the Gamma-irradiated Beast. This fictitious meeting is the work of a gentleman named Ross who runs Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues! That site is dedicated to the greatest team-ups that never happened. He started with Brave and the Bold fake covers starring Batman, transitioned into Marvel Two-in-One fake covers starring the Thing, and is now doing Super-Team Family featuring a wide variety of team-ups. Below are a few previous Firestorm appearances:
The comments on this posting suggested the great idea of Dr. Bruce Banner & Professor Martin Stein meeting face-to-face! That could be the germ for this entire concept. Banner and Stein work together on a lab project; something goes horribly wrong; and next think you know Firestorm is battling the Hulk in downtown Manhattan! The question is, which hero loses control?!?!? I don’t know about you, but I’d definitely buy that comic!
Be sure to check out Ross’ work on Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues! There are some real gems in there, and they were all done with Microsoft Paint! Impressive! My thanks to J. David Weter for the heads-up on this one!

I’ll say it again, I don’t see many Match-heads names on the “Backer” list, so consider this a guilt trip! You can help by pledging as little as $1, or by helping to spread the word!
This 3 and 1/2 hour video interview covers Gerry’s entire career, how he got into comics, plus the inner workings and what happens behind the scenes of DC comics and Marvel comics!
