Check out this fantastic 1979 sketch of Firestorm by Al Milgrom! I thought this would help us get ready for the big interview tomorrow with Firestorm creators Gerry Conway and Al Milgrom! Truly classic Firestorm! Interestingly, this was drawn during a period when Firestorm’s continued existence was questionable. He’d only appeared in five issues of […]

Rafael Kayanan Firestorm Sketch
Rafael Kayanan (long time artist on the original Fury of Firestorm series) recently posted this sketch to his Twitter account. He titled it, “Old nuclear friend found in pile of roughs”. Normally I would zoom in and crop the Firestorm picture, but this time I thought it would be better to preserve that sexy Mary […]

1992 Impel DC Comics Firestorm Trading Card
DC Comics first universe-spanning trading card series was produced by Impel Marketing in 1991. Some date confusion was created because the cards themselves were identified as the 1992 series. Firestorm received his own card, highlighting his then-current status as an Elemental lost in space. The pencils and inks on the card were done by the […]
Blackest Night #3 Cover by Ethan Van Sciver Reenacted with Action Figures
See what you can accomplish with too much time and too many action figures? Sometimes I frighten myself… Yes, I took the time to reenact the Blackest Night #3 variant cover by Ethan Van Sciver using action figures. I’m not sure what possessed me, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Support […]
Check out the Firestorm-mobile!
Okay… Firestorm didn’t really get a suped-up hot rod (but that would be cool). Instead today we’ll be looking at the Hot Wheels 2011 Firestorm, part of the Thrill Racers Volcano series. I realize this is tangentially related to Firestorm, but let’s face it… who doesn’t love Hot Wheels?!?! The two photos above were sent […]
George Perez 1999 Firestorm Drawing
Here is a fantastic George Perez drawing of Firestorm done back in 1999. In the early 1980s Perez drew Firestorm back-up stories in The Flash, and drew our favorite Nuclear Man in Justice League of America. Even though Firestorm didn’t have his own regular series at the time, Perez drew the character often enough that […]
Firestorm Cosplay
As you can imagine, Firestorm is a very difficult costume to cosplay. Previously, we’ve featured Allen Hansard and Brad West (both from the Superhero Costuming Forum) in their excellent Firestorm cosplay efforts. We’ve also featured the super-fun 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International Firestorm guy. Today we’re going to look at a few more I’ve come […]
