“The Way to Dusty Death!”

In "The Way to Dusty Death!", Namor faces a storm of betrayal as his sworn bride Dorma is kidnapped, only for her vow of loyalty to unexpectedly unravel Llyra’s plot—only to reveal a deeper conspiracy when Ikthon is exposed as an ally of Attuma. Roy Thomas crafts a taut, emotional thriller, with Ross Andru’s dynamic art and Mike Esposito’s sharp inks bringing the underwater drama to life, while Sal Buscema’s cover captures the tragedy’s grim weight.

Dorma has been kidnapped, but the vow of fealty she took foils Llyra’s scheme — Proteus proclaims Dorma to be Namor’s bride, not Llyra. More treachery is uncovered when Namor finds Ikthon to be in league with Attuma. The prince races to rescue his wife but is too late. Dorma is dead.
