Black Flame Archives #1 – 2014 marks the triumphant resurrection of a long-lost Bronze Age dark fantasy gem, crafted by the talented Peter B. Gillis (Doctor Strange, Strikeforce: Morituri) and the legendary Tom Sutton (Creepy, Vampirella). This double-sized premiere issue kicks off a fully remastered presentation of the complete 21-chapter saga — a cult classic finally receiving the archival treatment it has long deserved.

Originally published during a time when comics were experimenting with deeper, more complex storytelling, The Black Flame blends dark fantasy, occult horror, and philosophical undercurrents into a beautifully bizarre epic. The digitally restored artwork is paired with brand-new atmospheric colouring that enhances Sutton’s already haunting illustrations, preserving the spirit of the original while elevating it for today’s readers.

This release also features an exclusive wraparound cover by Kelley Jones (Batman, Swamp Thing, Deadman), whose signature gothic flair perfectly captures the eerie tone of the series. With its oversized format and archival-level presentation, this is more than just a reprint — it’s a celebration of one of the Bronze Age's most intriguing underground titles, now accessible to modern audiences.

An essential pickup for fans of vintage horror comics, dark fantasy, and lost classics, Black Flame Archives #1 is both a collector’s item and an introduction to one of the best-kept secrets in comic book history.
