Spidey #22
In "Le Prince des Mers rejoint les Mauvais Mutants," Namor's mysterious origins spark intrigue when Professor Xavier considers him a potential mutant—prompting Magneto to seize the moment and invade the underwater realm with an offer to join his Brotherhood. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, with Chic Stone’s inks and Stan Goldberg’s colors, this 1981 French edition sees the Sub-Mariner caught between two forces, his allegiance tested. The cover by Jean-Yves Mitton captures the clash of titans in bold, striking detail.
