Super-Villain Team-Up #2

The uneasy alliance at the heart of Marvel's 1975 series gets tested hard in this second issue, where the cover — penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Frank Giacoia — throws Sub-Mariner front and center, chains in hand, straining against a chaotic brawl while Dr. Doom unleashes a crackling energy blast behind him. Tiger Shark and Attuma crowd the scene as adversaries, with the cover's bold tagline warning that if Doom can't turn the tide, a Sea Prince must die. It's a wonderfully tense snapshot of two of Marvel's most formidable anti-heroes fighting on the same side — and clearly not having an easy time of it.
