Description

Marvel proudly presents TIMELY'S GREATEST, a series of once-in-lifetime volumes collecting the greatest stories of the Golden Age - when Marvel was known as Timely Comics! Timely's first super hero, the burning-hot hit called the Human Torch, seared his way into readers' minds in 1939, setting the path for all Marvel icons to come! Carl Burgos' fiery hero wasn't a typical do-gooder - he was a creation of cutting-edge science in a world that was terrified by his burning visage. In this first-ever collection of every Human Torch tale from the character's debut through Carl Burgos' April 1942 induction into the war effort, you'll experience the birth of Marvel Comics! Also featuring Burgos' rare postwar and 1950s Torch stories and covers! Collecting material from MARVEL COMICS #1, MARVEL MYSTERY COMICS #2-34 and #83, HUMAN TORCH COMICS #2-7 and #28, ALL-WINNERS COMICS (1941) #1-4, YOUNG MEN #24-28, CAPTAIN AMERICA (1954) #76 and DARING MYSTERY COMICS #7.

About the Author

Max Finkelstein created Jim Hamond, the Human Torch, for Timely Comics (later evolved into the Marvel Comics) in 1939, using the pen-name Carl Burgos. He also created the Thunderer for Daring Mystery Comics. Both series were published by Timely Comics, the forerunner of Marvel. He was drafted in 1942 and did mostly commercial art in subsequent years, occasionally drawing science fiction stories for Marvel, by that time known as Atlas. He also drew the first story featuring the Beetle (Abner Jenkins) in Strange Tales #123, starring Johnny Storm, the second Human Torch. Two years later, in Fantastic Four Annual #4, Marvel published a battle between the two Human Torches, resulting in the death of Jim Hamond. Although his daughter tried to preserve as much as possible, Burgos set fire to much of the Human Torch materials he had retained from the 1940s, considering the story an excuse to reassert trademark on a character they were not using simply to spite him.
