Marvel’s First Hero…
Hey everyone! This is a shorter video essay about something that I am quite interested in while I work on a much larger video hopefully coming out next month! I honestly love the Human torch (Jim Hammond) and I find that there’s so much untapped potential in terms of media that I thought I would give a proper literary analysis of the character. I realize that this is quite outside of my niche but I want this video essay project to be always guided by my own interests first and foremost. Anyways hope you enjoy! If you don’t know about me, I’m George. I’m a Dutch-Chilean writer and artist. I’ll be publishing more of this style of content in the future but I post consistently on Substack.
