Fantastic Four #155/156
In "R. et R.", the Thing turns to the unlikely ally Mole Man to rescue the Human Torch from the dangerous grip of the megalomaniacal Maas. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, this 1984 installment delivers a tense, character-driven showdown with a touch of dark humor, all rendered in Byrne’s signature style and brought to life by Julianna Ferriter’s colors and Pierre Legault’s lettering. The cover, also by Byrne, captures the moment with sharp, dramatic detail.
In "R. et R.", Reed and Sue adjust to their quiet suburban life—until the Human Torch is taken, his energy needed to power a device that threatens to expand the Earth itself. A tense, grounded story of domesticity disrupted, where the real danger isn’t just outside the door, but in the quiet unraveling of the life they’ve built.
When the Human Torch is captured by the megalomaniacal Maas, the Thing turns to an unlikely ally—Mole Man—to mount a rescue. Trapped beneath the Earth’s surface, this uneasy alliance must navigate treacherous tunnels and rising tensions before it’s too late.
