Tales to Astonish #92
In "It Walks Like a Man!", Namor faces a terrifying new threat when a radioactive barrel dumped in his underwater realm awakens an ancient, monstrous force. As the creature emerges to terrorize both land and sea, Namor must confront it—only to find himself caught in a deadly crossfire with a surface submarine mistaking him for the enemy. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with bold, dynamic art by Dan Adkins, with cover by Don Heck and Dan Adkins, this 1967 issue blends aquatic peril with Cold War-era tension in a story that’s as much about misunderstanding as it is about monsters.

When a passing ship dumps a radioactive barrel into Namor's realm, he realizes the danger it poses and takes it far away from Atlantis to throw it into a deep crevasse. Little does he know that the radiation in the barrel has awakened an ancient monster who begins to menace both the surface world and the world beneath the waves alike. Thinking the monster another surface threat, Namor begins to battle it as a nearby submarine, who is also tracking the radioactive creature, begins firing torpedoes at the both of them.
