“...Under the Name of Ritual..”

In "…Under the Name of Ritual..", Namor finds himself drawn into a high-stakes trial by combat in the lost city of the Black Sea People, where Lady Tuvia has summoned both him and Spider-Man to settle a dangerous rivalry. With the fate of an ancient kingdom hanging in the balance, Namor must face Turalla, a warrior with ambitions that stretch far beyond the throne. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with moody, dynamic art by Gene Colan, inks by Sam Grainger, and colors by Sam Grainger, this 1971 Marvel classic features a striking cover by George Tuska, John Romita, and Frank Giacoia.
