In "And Now It Begins...", Stan Lee and Steve Ditko deliver a tense, thought-provoking tale of cold war anxiety and human fallibility, set against the high-stakes backdrop of nuclear deterrence. When a general is replaced by a robot deemed more precise for launching a counterattack, a mysterious radar blip triggers a cascade of decisions that test the line between logic and instinct. The story's chilling premise is brought to life by Ditko’s distinctive art and lettering, while Jim Steranko’s striking cover captures the moment’s dread with sharp, dynamic flair.
