Fantasy Masterpieces #8
In "The Human Torch versus the Sub-Mariner," two Marvel legends clash in a battle that’s as much about pride as it is power, set against a backdrop of escalating tension between flame and sea. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Don Heck and vibrant colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1967 classic captures the raw energy of the era, all wrapped in a cover by Bill Everett, Jack Kirby, Paul Reinman, and Don Heck.
