Terrific! #11

In "To the Death!", Namor fights for the survival of Atlantis against the monstrous Behemoth, a threat that grows more dangerous when Krang manipulates the beast through a puppet built by the Puppet Master. With the fate of his home at stake, Namor pushes himself to the limit—only for Krang to strike a new, personal blow by confronting Lady Dorma with an ultimatum: marry him or see the Behemoth return. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with moody precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Dick Ayers and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1967 issue delivers a tense clash of wills, all under the shadow of a puppet that may hold the key to Atlantis’s fate. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Gene Colan, Steve Ditko, Bill Everett, and Sol Brodsky, captures the storm of conflict with striking intensity.
