In "War in the Fourth Dimension," Professor X exacts revenge on a patrolman who once imprisoned him, setting off a deadly chain of events that draws in Sub-Zero. With the stakes rising in a battle that defies physics, the masked vigilante faces a trap that tests his mind as much as his will. Written and illustrated by Bill Everett, with a striking cover by W. E. Rowland, this 1940 thriller blends pulp suspense with early sci-fi intrigue in a story that pushes the limits of the fourth dimension.
