☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Escape... to Nowhere!", the Hulk and Rick barely survive the blast of Ross's "Sunday Punch" missile, only to find themselves hunted through the wilderness. With military planes closing in and the Leader's massive Humanoid collapsing around them, the duo seeks refuge in an underground cave—only to be cornered by Ross and Talbot, who threaten to destroy the hidden complex and Bruce's gamma machine. Just as the situation seems hopeless, the Leader appears, offering the Hulk a way out—if he'll serve him. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, Mickey Demeo, and Artie Simek, this gripping tale features a cover by Gene Colan and Vince Colletta.
Namor ventures into the Forbidden Deeps in search of Neptune’s Trident, facing the legendary Seaweed Man—a foe who has never been bested in his realm. As Dorma grapples with guilt over betraying Namor, she resolves to reclaim his trust, even if it costs them both. Meanwhile, unrest brews beneath Atlantis under Krang’s harsh rule.
In "Like a Beast at Bay!", the Hulk finds himself cornered as the military closes in and the Leader’s giant Humanoid looms overhead. With Rick Jones trapped and the underground base exposed, the Hulk must decide whether to trust the Leader’s offer—his only way out of a deadly trap.
