Set Description:
Riders on the Storm. Needing the Fire? Check out the Nuclear Power on this guy! Safety codes in place, as we read how the fire gets a real chill in this ongoing series. There were many a 1st in the 70's, and particularly around 1974. It must have been the time of the season, when the leaves were brown and a patch of snow on the ground. California dreaming they were, on such a winter's day. Nuclear Winter? God forbid, as it may all come to a head, sooner rather than later.

Break on Through the Doors to the Other Side, as it is about to get hot in here, along with the storm a brewing. Firestorm taking it by the roots of the 70's.

A closer look is a cause to revisit the confidence of excellence that comics represent, be it the 50's, 60's, or now 1970's. All is on the table for confronting comics from any age, this takes consideration the times and ages in a culture. Firestorm himself has come down to valuable offerings within modern teams and groupings that he can be trusted and muster some help to further a cause, even decades later. 1974 to be exact was an ample opportunity to come up with issue #1's that were ongoing and mostly for a while and not being cancelled, of course that is until Star Wars #1 for obvious reasons. Saving the game is all good, and comic fans are the better for it, when now we revisit! New eyes and good minds can always recall but like foods or moods it is always nice to let our hearts keep out for perspectives of rekindling a basis for love, when comics are comics and delving out for the joy, they "all" should bring.

1st appearance and origin of Firestorm. Hot to trot and eventually cold as the storm ice winter in this series. It's all up for grabs, and it will be something if it catches the flames! I tried like the dickens to find this series in the dollar bins, never was that lucky. I had found run fillers, but not in the best shape. I would take a gander at or read some of the issues in the bins at the used bookstore, but what I really wanted was the 1st app and the origin. How this character escaped me for the longest time still eludes me. Innovative for the time, in the way it isn't caused by a radioactive biter or anything, instead it is straight up the source of a "reactor!" Nuclear fission can be delicate, but often the results don't present that way in the magnitude of force. The math is calculated only to provide a certain thesis, as to more controlled effects that can affect the outcome. Glad I'm not responsible for learning it, although someone needs the correct confidence!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released publicly to theaters, of the namesake kids would think of when seeing blazing flames infomercials in the 70's through 90's: Playing with Fire! Including wrestler John Cena who played Peacemaker for rival comic company DC! We all had infomercials before cartoons and even during them to not strike the match "for fun", even Smokey the Bear, that now we have the "Firestorm Firemen" heroes that has all the boys and girls clamoring: "You Can't See Me!"

Origin and 1st Appearance of Killer Frost. (Doctor Crystal Frost) It's a Nuclear Winter, with the Kiss of Ice, on the Lips of Fire. Sure to survive the storm! A bit of a mystery origin wrapped into a retaliation book, to be honest. This series has potential. It has statues and other types of ephemera, but they are more of Killer Frost rather than "Firestorm." Do not despise small beginnings, this is the way, and what the good book says. Featured here and there in the Frost, is a chilling and nice addition to the collection and genre. A villain of just emotions of ice, she'll warm up to the idea of being a fleshed-out character. Bought from eBay, which still had to be bought quick, or so I thought. Purchased in 2018, it stayed relatively small in gains. I'm not specking on it, but I found the matchup between polar opposites amusing! Given the age of the book and the science of the plot, spoken for in the issue, it is worth keeping this Near Mint (NM) copy. I'll take it!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "The Idea of You!" Similar to this issue, a single and attractive woman finds herself infatuated when it turns too real for her, due to the spotlight of the other party! Firestorm here has to fend off Crystal who turns into Killer Frost, after there is unrequited love, and upon transformation she then loses some stability in that sense creating motives.
