Doctor Centella #9

In "El culto y el profano," the cunning Asmodeus takes on the guise of Doctor Centella to deceive the Anciano, forcing Centella to don a new masked costume in response. As the deception reaches its climax, Asmodeus chants the ancient spell of fire and ice, unleashing the long-buried forces of Ymir, the ice giant, and Surtur, the fire demon—setting the stage for an inevitable clash. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Gene Colan, with inks by Tom Palmer, the cover by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer captures the eerie intensity of the moment.
