Rogue’s Gallery: Brimstone
Rogue’s Gallery Week continues here at FIRESTORM FAN! Today we’re looking at Firestorm’s reoccurring foe, Brimstone! This engine of destruction was created by Darkseid and faced off against our favorite flame-brain a few times.

Before They Were Stars – Ed Brubaker
I love old comic book letter columns! Back in the pre-internet days, those letter columns were the primary venue for fans and creators to interact. Many of those letter writers went on to become well-known comic professionals themselves. Today we’re launching a new semi-regular featured entitled, BEFORE THEY WERE STARS! We’ll feature letters from Firestorm [...]

I love the cover to The Fury of Firestorm #7! What grabs my attention is not the attractively drawn woman, but Firestorm’s awesome action pose, along with the [...]
Remember Captain X on Memorial Day

After WWII, he continued to operate during the Cold War. Captain X’s secret identity was Richard “Buck” Dare, a reporter [...]
Lil’ Stormy
This funny little guy first appeared in the letters page of Firestorm #91. He appeared a few more times before the end of the series, each time with a different quote. To my knowledge he was never given a name, nor was it revealed who drew the caricature of the Elemental Firestorm. I think he’s [...]
