In "The Man Below," the king of Atlantis, driven by a belief in surface life long thought lost, launches a desperate invasion from the depths. But when his tiny, sea-adapted people emerge into the world above, they find themselves dwarfed and vulnerable—forced to retreat back into the ocean’s embrace. Penciled and inked by Dick Ayers in a striking, atmospheric style, this tale of submerged ambition and scale is bookended by Steve Ditko’s haunting cover art, capturing the eerie beauty of a world beneath the waves.
