Horton, and a mysterious WWII-era robot known as the original Human Torch. Written by John Byrne and Hans Hansen, with art by Byrne and coloring by Bob Sharen, this 1985 issue from Interpresse delivers a gripping blend of personal mystery and hidden history. The cover, by John Romita Jr. and Al Milgrom, captures the tension of a moment that could change everything.
