Marvel proudly presents TIMELY'S GREATEST, a series of once-in-lifetime volumes collecting the greatest stories of the Golden Age - when Marvel was known as Timely Comics!

Carl Burgos' fiery hero wasn't a typical do-gooder - he was a creation of cutting-edge science in a world that was terrified by his burning visage. In this first-ever collection of every Human Torch tale from the character's debut through Carl Burgos' April 1942 induction into the war effort, you'll experience the birth of Marvel Comics!

Also featuring Burgos' rare postwar and 1950s Torch stories and covers!
