The Human Torch #34

Jan 1949 · Marvel · 0.10 USD
“The Flat of the Land”

In "The Flat of the Land," the Human Torch and Sun Girl are captured by B4, a resident of the two-dimensional realm of Flatula, who uses a ray to flatten and imprison famous figures—including the U.S. President—for his bizarre museum. With Otto Binder’s clever scripting and Mike Sekowsky’s dynamic art, this 1949 classic sees the Torch’s flame unexpectedly disrupt Flatula’s dimension, offering a spark of hope in a world where reality itself is compressed. Ken Bald’s cover pencils and Vince Alascia’s inks bring the surreal threat to life on the front.
