Marvel Special #12
"Ruhe in Frieden" delivers a gripping prelude to the Marvel Age, set in the turbulent days before the Thunderbolts' rise. As Baron Zemo quells an uprising among his Indian workers, his son Helmut and Erik Josten watch in silence, while the Fixer joins HYDRA in a covert mission to subdue the amnesiac Sub-Mariner. Written by Kurt Busiek and Frank Borsch, with art by Steve Epting and inks by Bob Wiacek, this 1999 issue captures the era's shadowy tensions—colorist Tom Smith and letterer RAM enhance the mood, while Adam Kubert and Mark Farmer deliver a striking cover.
In "Zeit des Abschieds," Jack accompanies his son Matt to college, grappling with the quiet worry of letting go—especially as Matt, who is blind, navigates the unfamiliar world with quiet determination. The story captures a tender, grounded moment of fatherhood and independence, as Matt proves he’s ready to step into his own life.
