Firestorm

A DC creation of the late Copper Age, this incarnation of Firestorm stepped into the spotlight in 1989 under the sharp creative hands of John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake — a pairing that brought genuine edge to the Nuclear Man's corner of the DC universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare and specific chapter in Firestorm's storied history, sharing pages with heavy hitters like Martin Stein, Firehawk, and the menacing Parasite and Rudy Jones. For collectors hunting the deeper cuts of DC's late-'80s output, this is exactly the kind of find that rewards the devoted digger.
