“Captives”

In "Captives," Namor—recently wed to Marrina—finds himself imprisoned by Neptune and dragged to the depths of Hades, where he must rely on an unexpected ally to break free. With the help of the enigmatic Prometheus, Namor escapes and joins forces with the Avengers, who are also trapped in Pluto’s prison, in a desperate bid to survive the underworld’s wrath. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer, this 1987 Marvel classic features a gripping tale of gods, captivity, and escape, with a cover by Buscema and Palmer that captures the mythic intensity of the story.
