The Human Torch #7
In "The Agent of Death," Namor investigates the sudden Japanese retreat from Wake Island, drawn by a desperate plea from Betty, who believes her three missing brothers might still be alive—possibly held captive. Written by Bill Everett and illustrated by Allen Simon, this 1942 issue blends wartime intrigue with the Sub-Mariner’s unique perspective, all rendered with dynamic energy. The cover by Alex Schomburg captures the tension with a striking, moody portrait of Namor in his iconic form.
