Hit Comics #12
"So ein Monstrum" marks a rare and powerful moment in the Fantastic Four mythos, written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with inks by Joe Sinnott. In this 1967 story, a scientist driven by ego and ambition seeks to prove his superiority over Reed Richards—only to confront the quiet, selfless brilliance of the Human Torch’s teammate in a moment that tests the very core of his purpose. The cover, a striking Kirby composition with inks by Sinnott, captures the tension of a mind at war with itself.
In "So ein Monstrum," a desperate scientist seeks to prove his superiority over Reed Richards by harnessing the power of a mysterious entity and infiltrating the Baxter Building. As he watches Reed selflessly pioneer the subraum without thought for acclaim, his certainty begins to waver—especially when he must choose whether to save him, holding fast to a cable that threatens to tear, and ultimately sacrificing himself in the act.
In "Auf dem Flugplatz von Rot-China," Iron Man races against time after defeating Ultimo by triggering a dormant volcano, only to find himself hunted after the Mandarin believes Tony Stark is dead and vows to resurrect the android. With a stolen Commie jet and U.S. fighters on his tail, he makes a desperate escape—only to return home and face a far more dangerous threat: Stark Industries shuttered and a warrant for his arrest issued by Senator Byrd.
