Carl Burgos's Human Torch storytime

I've decided to do a storytime of Marvel's very first comic run -- The Human Torch by Carl Burgos (1939 -1942).

Also, I forgot to mention that this run is 45 issues long.

I read somewhere or other that Burgos copped to not being a great artist, but took pride in the fact he didn’t use swipe.

That's being honest. He was treated badly by Martin Goodman. The copyright renewal was coming up on the Human Torch, FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL brought the Torch back to fight Johnny Storm, then killed him at the end. Enough for Marvel to claim ownership of the character before Burgos did. I don't think he got any compensation at all. Goodman was not the most generous person you ever met.

That is a cool cover

The auto-poster is fucking up, hold on.
It's saying that a page has an embedded file.
