Joe- Ok we will go with that. I would also like to point ou that you do an amazing job as "Commission Consultant".

The more I look at this piece the more shocked I am that it took this long for the Human Torch to get his own.

Nice piece. The pose is very interesting -- JB, is there anything to share about how/why you picked that pose?

I like the way the Torch "glows."

As soon as I read "Fire"I instantly thought it could be Johnny Storm.

I love the pose of the character. To me it suggests he has risen quickly into the air and this is a snapshot just as he relaxes at the apex of his climb.

As they used to say in Britain, " Scorchio!"

Joe Hollon: That's a very interesting observation. I was thinking something similar.

��

The customer asked for an "iconic" pose. Kirby did a pinup/info page in an early FF that featured the Torch in a pose similar to this, and it entered my young brain as very much "iconic".
