Men's Adventures #27

This May 1954 Atlas Comics issue brings the fiery duo of the Human Torch and Toro front and center in a dynamic multi-panel cover by Carl Burgos, showing the flaming heroes in hot pursuit of a speeding blue getaway car whose occupants are desperately trying to outrun them. The cover art captures a terrific sense of urgency — Toro calling out as the Torch melts the villains' vehicle, with the crooks shouting that they still have "an ace in the hole." As the cover promises, Sub-Mariner and Captain America also appear in this packed issue, making it a genuine showcase for Atlas's Golden Age heroic lineup.
