Historic first app page of one of the best heralds of Galactus.
Firelord was created by Conway/Buscema/Sinott back in 1974.

Big John was one of the best earlier artists to draw energetic action scenes...and this page shows that.
Similar to the cover, we see Firelord grappling with Hercules in two panels with his back to us.

Kinda cool to see Thor in his human form (Dr. Donald Blake) unable to change into Thor.

Great key issue! Firelord is a favorite amongst the heralds with a distinct visual flair! The battle gets more heated and the stakes become higher on this page!

Amazing page! The anger on Hercules' faceless is brilliant, and the movement flows so quickly here. Superb angles and poses, and so much drama.
