A couple recent web comics have poked some fun at our favorite Nuclear Man. While I stand up for Firestorm every chance I get, it doesn’t hurt to chuckle once in a while. As Ed Raymond would probably say, “Any press is good press!” Enjoy! First one up is a guest strip from the web […]

Fury of Firestorm #61 Variant Cover
Back in July 1987, DC Comics test-marketed a couple different covers and logos. This was long before variant covers became commonplace as they are nowadays.
