Title: Carl Burgos
Post by: Konjo on May 03, 2023, 04:49:17 AM

Can anyone recommend me some of the best reading of Carl Burgos work? I really appreciate the amateur vibe he brings to the Human Torch and, side question, i wondered if the story of Burgos creating the character during a heatwave is true? I read in a Kirby biography that Burgos created the character during a heatwave in New York (i think)

Don't know if it's his best, but I liked his Iron Skull stories from Amazing Man Comics #5 through #11, at which point I believe he left Centaur to work for Funnies Inc.
