“True Lies”

Doctor Doom looms enormous over a city skyline on this May 1985 cover by John Byrne and Jerry Ordway, his masked face radiating unmistakable menace while the Human Torch blazes in fiery red nearby. She-Hulk and the Invisible Woman stand their ground in the foreground, with a suited figure caught amid bursts of flame rounding out a scene that crackles with tension. "True Lies" promises exactly the kind of high-stakes confrontation that made Fantastic Four earn its tagline as the World's Greatest Comic Magazine.
