Amazingly written origin! I have become a fan of this legend from now on. It knows how to make audience feel for Johny Blaze. We feel sympathetic for him. It succeeds to make us care for him, the trauma, the pain and agony he suffers, FELT real to me!

How can I forget the art? It's fantastic. The colors are like an of the old Marvel comic from 60's or 70's but the detailing on the art caught my attention. Sometimes the art creeped me out.

Definetly my favorite marvel origin issue.
