In "For Crown and Conquest!", the Fantastic Four join forces with Namor and the Avengers in a high-stakes mission to stop Ghaur and Llyra from completing a deadly ritual using the chosen seven brides of Set. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Rich Buckler, this 1989 annual sees the heroes racing through an underwater stronghold, confronting Lemurian warriors before facing Ghaur in his throne room. The cover by Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott captures the epic clash, while John A. Wilcox’s colors and Janice Chiang’s lettering bring the action to life — all culminating in the heroes sealing away the Serpent Crown in a deep crevasse to end its menace.
