Marvel's Greatest Comics #32
In "The Brutal Betrayal of Ben Grimm!", Johnny Storm finds himself ensnared by the Terrible Trio on a seemingly ordinary day—only to be rescued by Ben Grimm in a high-stakes showdown at a railway yard. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Dick Ayers with inks by Frankie Ray, the story blends tension and humor as Doris sharp-tonguedly compares Johnny to Peter Parker, setting off a chain of events that tests the limits of friendship and heroism. The cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky captures the moment with classic flair, a 25-cent gem from 1971.

"Dr. Doom would be so proud of us!" Yogi Dakkor said...guess again!
