Recently Read: Golden Age Human Torch, Vol. 1
Receiving his own book after twelve issues of Marvel Mystery Comics appearances, The Human Torch and sidekick Toro are still drawn here by creator Carl Burgos. The problem: the stories are uniformly uninteresting and contrived concoctions geared towards the kiddies. Backup stories starring second stringers The Patriot, The Falcon, The Fiery Mask and Mandrake-ripoff Mantor the Magician aren't any better, making the book a chore to read. Only Bill Everett's vital Sub-Mariner stories keep the collection from being of use only to comics historians. The enterprise is worsened by Jamison Services' truly horrendous digital "reconstruction", resulting in distorted faces and embarrassing loss of detail - a final product with little relationship to what was originally published.
