Farenheit 451
1999
After reading Ray Bradbury's novel Farenheit 451 I was inspired to start a graphic novel of his book, one of the symbols of the fire department was the salamander.The salamander (the name possibly coming from the Greek salambe meaning ‘fireplace’) was often visualized as a small dragon or lizard. But what set the salamander apart from other lizards or serpents was the fact that it was a fire element. According to some, it was thought that the reason the salamander was able to withstand and extinguish fire was that it was incredibly cold, and it would put out fire on contact.
