Story Notes
Feature continues from Firestorm (DC, 1978 series) #5 (October-November 1978). First George Pérez DC art. George Pérez confirms through an interview by Dan Greenfield on the website 13th Dimension "A Rare Peek Inside George Perez's Firestorm" June 23, 2019 (https://13thdimension.com/a-rare-peek-inside-george-perezs-firestorm/, retrieved 27 June 2019), that the inker on his first Firestorm story was credited in error to Romeo Tanghal. It was actually inked by Bob Smith who would ink all of Perez's Firestorm run.
