The Flame Goddess

Emerging from the lurid, adventurous pages of Slave Girl Comics in 1949, The Flame Goddess is a Golden Age creation by Howard Larsen whose mystique has kept her in print across an astonishing span of decades — from the postwar pulp era all the way into the 2010s. She's the kind of exotic, atmospheric figure that defined Golden Age adventure comics, sharing pages with characters like Shala, Nimir, and Malu in titles that reveled in sword-and-sandal fantasy. AC Comics, champions of preserving and celebrating vintage material, kept her flame alive through Barbarians and Beauties and beyond, ensuring that collectors with a taste for classic adventure illustration can still seek her out today.
