“In the Darkness Dwells... Doom!”

Marvel's 1969 Sub-Mariner series delivers a showdown worthy of the tagline "In the Darkness Dwells… Doom!" as the cover — penciled by John Buscema and inked by Johnny Craig — plunges Namor into furious combat, fists flying amid an explosion of shattered stone and debris. Facing him is an armored, green-cloaked figure unmistakably recognizable as Doctor Doom, weapon raised in the rubble-strewn chaos. It's a dynamic, hard-hitting composition that makes this December issue a genuinely exciting addition to any collection of Marvel's Bronze Age beginnings.
