Submariner #15
"Le roi des neiges" in Submariner #15 (1978) delivers a quietly haunting tale from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, where a fugitive finds refuge with an elderly couple in a communist bloc country—only for their humble shack to mysteriously reappear beyond the Iron Curtain, pristine and whole. The story unfolds with a gentle, surreal mystery, culminating in a revelation that the guest was no ordinary man, but an angel who had been quietly traversing the region for reasons unknown. Bill Everett’s evocative cover art captures the tale’s ethereal tone, making this a standout entry in the series’ early run.
