Description

"FLAME ON!"

Flashback to 1982 (1942!)! This is page 19 of ALL-STAR SQUADRON #5 (Jan. 1982). On this page Danette Reilly suits up as Firebrand and "flames on" for the first time! :-) Danette Reilly / Firebrand was based on Roy Thomas' real-life wife and collaborator Dann Thomas. Dann Thomas was also the inspiration for the character named "Danette" who appeared in WHAT IF? #13 - "What If Conan the Barbarian Walked the Earth Today?" (see "additional images").

NOTE: Check out panel #1, where The Atom refers to the Japanese as "NIPS" (1940's slang for Nipponese) - a racially insensitive comment that Roy Thomas apologized for in a later All-Star Squadron letters column.

This page was drawn by Rich Buckler (pencils) and Jerry Ordway (inks) and has been autographed by Buckler, Ordway and Roy Thomas.
