In "The Reprehensible Riddle of... the Sorcerer!", Mercury—son of Jupiter—steps into a high-stakes mission to stop Pluto’s hidden schemes, now disguised as Rudolph Hendler, leader of Prussialand. With Jack Kirby handling every aspect of the interior art and storytelling, this 1968 Marvel Super-Heroes classic sees Mercury outmaneuvering traps, intercepting military orders, and halting a war before it begins. The cover by Ross Andru and Bill Everett captures the dramatic tension of a world on the brink.
