In "When the Monster Wakes!", Namor stirs in the shattered remains of Atlantis to find his people on the brink of war, poised to unleash the untested Hurricane Inducer—a weapon whose power could devastate both land and sea. Written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Dan Adkins, this 1975 tale captures Namor’s desperate struggle to stop his own people, even as they brand him a traitor for opposing their plans. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby, John Romita, and Vince Colletta, perfectly frames the clash of loyalty and duty beneath the ocean’s surface.

In "When Falls the Holocaust!", Namor awakens to find Atlantis on the brink of war, his people poised to unleash the untested Hurricane Inducer—a weapon capable of catastrophic storms. As he tries to stop the machine, his past alliance with the Plunderer makes him an outcast, and his efforts to prevent disaster only deepen the rift. With the weapon destroyed and tensions at their peak, the Atlanteans face a choice: return to the depths or risk unleashing chaos upon the surface world.
