“When the Monster Wakes!”

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.

Namor awakens in the ruins of Atlantis only to find that his army has taken off to start a war with the surface world. They plan on activating their latest and most dangerous weapon, the Hurricane Inducer, but the machine has not been tested and Namor fears that it will cause great harm to friend and foe alike. With his subjects already thinking him a traitor for allying with the piratical Plunderer, Namor doesn't do his tarnished rep any favors when he is caught destroying the Atlantean's most powerful weapon. With the inducer destroyed, the Atlanteans decide to return home.
