Human Torch Facts On Fire-1948


A clever idea (and title) for a back up feature for Timely's Human Torch but I think this may have been the only time it appeared. The Torch himself didn't appear for much longer in his original run.

A great little HT featurette! But maybe my favorite Human Torch story -- also from 1948, I believe -- was the one where he flew to Jupiter, in a matter of hours!

Yep, that's it! Only I first saw it somehwere as a reprint in the 1970s or 1980s.

The artist is Sy Grudko. Sy told me this was his try-out at Timely in 1947, although I never found it. I had lunch with his daughter today and lo and behold, she had a photocopy of the first page with her. The original pages could not be currently located among her family's archives.
