That is right, you read the cover right, likely after looking at the stunning image of Captain America standing there, and his shield deflecting fireballs from the human Torch.  The cover indeed does say, im the big White and Yellow letters just what you think it did. “From out of the Golden Age of Comics…

Today’s Comic book review is of the story “The Coming Of The Plantman!” that was published in Strange Tales #113.

Today I review the human torches story in Strange Tales #109, titled.  “The Sorcerer and Pandora’s Box”. I think the title alone, combined with the cover can easily give you a good idea of what this comic book’s story is all about. but lets give just one more quote to build upon that. In this…

The Human Torches stories in Strange Tales have been on a high note since my bad review of Strange Tales #105, But can Strange Tales #108 continue the trend, or is this one going to be the next one to burn out.

Strange tales #103 where the human Torch is the prisoner of the 5th dimension, was a well written, and fairly well drawn story.  This time, the little care needed to explain why he is investigating this alone is taken. just 1 panel, greatly helped this story fit in with a level of acceptability with the other Fantastic Four…

A week ago I brought you a review of one of the stories in Strange Tales #101. This week, The Human Torch continues being the star of the featured story.  This time we have him in “Prisoner of the Wizard” The story is an enjoyable read, however I do feel it overlooks an all important fact…

It is October of 1962 when this issue was released.  in the middle of that month, when someone, somewhere may have been reading this for the first time.
