    Book Zero last edited by nero999 on 06/09/22 01:05AM View full history

    Phineas Thomas Horton is a brilliant inventor on the brink of great discovery! Like a modern day Prometheus, Horton, unlocking the secrets of creation, hands the world a Human Torch! This is the beginning of Marvels!

    Tells the story of Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch's origin, through his own eyes.

    Jim Hammond was created by the great scientist Phineas Thomas Horton, but Horton only intended to create a normal android, the flaming skin was an accident. The public feared the flaming man as a possible menace. Because of this and that Hammond could not control his flames he had to be incased in metal coffin and dropped into concrete where oxygen could not reach him, and therefore he could not burn. Under the concrete Hammond was taught about the world of man through an invention of Hortons. This learning method taught him the importance of "life" and "freedom", helping to mold him into the hero he would become.

    The story ends with a crack in the concrete allowing oxygen to reach Hammond's body. His body quickly ignites and he blasts his way out of the prison, eventually learning to control his powers.

    How Marvellous Part 0 0

    Marvels Issue: 0Picking up Marvels and from turning to the first page of issue zero, it just struck me in awe. The artwork was of pure greatness and beauty of which I've never seen in art before. Issue Zero tells the intriguing story of the creation of the original "Human Torch" (Jim Hammond) and from his perspective how he views the world and his "Father". A simple yet elegant introduction into the wonderful world of Marvels. Yet how easy it is for humans to be frightened by things that are dif...
