In "Introducing Toro, the Flaming Torch Kid," a 1967 Marvel classic, the Torch encounters a mysterious boy named Toro, whose body burns with flame after a tragic train accident left him orphaned and adopted by circus performers. Written and illustrated by Carl Burgos, with colors by Stan Goldberg and letters by Howard Ferguson, the story follows the Torch as he helps Toro gain control over his fiery powers and learn to fly—while Samson, defeated earlier, begins plotting revenge against the circus and the Flame. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Larry Lieber, Joe Maneely, John Verpoorten, and Herb Trimpe, captures the moment of discovery with striking energy.
