Tales to Astonish #93
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Monarch and the Monster!", the Hulk, mistaking the Silver Surfer for an alien threat, charges into battle with the only being on Earth who might match his strength. The Surfer, unimpressed by the assault, quickly subdues Hulk, then uses his cosmic awareness to sense the truth behind the gamma radiation that transformed Dr. Banner—only for Hulk to wake and attack again, convinced the Surfer is still a danger. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Marie Severin (pencils and colors) and Frank Giacoia (inks), this 1967 issue features cover art by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia, capturing the clash of titans with bold, expressive detail.
In "The Monarch and the Monster!", Namor faces off against a terrifying creature known as It, battling through collapsing ice and a damaged submarine in a clash of raw power and survival. As the dust settles and the wreckage drifts away, Namor returns to Atlantis, weakened by radiation but on the mend—only to make a solemn vow to convene a council of war.
In "He Who Strikes the Silver Surfer," the Hulk, enraged and misdirected, confronts the Silver Surfer—believing him to be a threat—only to be swiftly overpowered. The Surfer, intrigued by the Hulk’s plight, senses the truth behind his rage and seeks to heal the gamma radiation's damage, but the Hulk, waking mid-act, sees only an assault. With a final, frustrated glance, the Surfer departs, leaving the Hulk determined to find him again and force a journey beyond Earth.
