Marvel's Greatest Comics #64
In "The Mark of the Madman," the Fantastic Four race to rescue Crystal from the Alpha Primitives, leading Reed, Johnny, and Ben to the Inhumans' Great Refuge—where Maximus has seized power, imprisoned Black Bolt, and taken control of the Royal Family. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with inks by Joe Sinnott and lettering by Artie Simek, this 1976 issue delivers a high-stakes clash of wills in a world where loyalty is tested and the line between ruler and rebel blurs. The cover, also by Joe Sinnott, captures the tension with striking detail.
