Disclose Notes: Art identification based on Flame stories in Wonderworld Comics #24, Big 3 #3, and Wonderworld Comics #26, which were confirmed to have been drawn by Larry Antonette based on his personal records. In those stories, the way ears and faces are drawn on the men and women are similar to those drawn in this story, including how the Flame’s mouth tends to be drawn as being slightly open, as well as how antagonists have noticeably longer noses than the Flame’s. The way fire is drawn between all stories is consistent, particularly when the Flame is melting objects, flying with many whooshing lines behind him, and shooting pistol flame thrower shots, which are cone-like with curved spikes. Explosions are also drawn as spiky balls with billowing mushroom-esque clouds protruding from them.
