In "The Hidden Graveyard," a subterranean uprising brews beneath San Francisco as molemen, pushed to the edges of the city, plot their revenge after being forced into warrens. When their tunneling triggers an earthquake and citywide fires, they misinterpret the panic as a deliberate attempt to wipe them out—leading them to retreat into the depths, sealing their fate behind a collapsed entrance. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Paul Reinman, with dynamic inks by Reinman, this 1974 Marvel tale blends urban dread and underground rebellion. The cover, a striking collaboration by John and Marie Severin, captures the eerie tension of the hidden threat beneath the city streets.
