The Human Torch #10
In "The Death Dance of the Atlantic [Chapter 1]," the Human Torch and Toro are sent on a high-stakes mission to capture a U-boat crew alive, suspecting they hold vital intelligence on Allied convoys. Unbeknownst to them, the Sub-Mariner has already infiltrated the submarine, posing as a Nazi sailor—until a critical moment of sabotage forces him to reveal himself. Written by Mickey Spillane and illustrated by Al Gabriele with inks by Al Bellman, this wartime thriller kicks off with a tense deception that puts the ocean’s mightiest undersea warrior in a perilous bind. The cover, by Alex Schomburg, captures the drama in bold, dramatic strokes.

Torch and Toro are ordered to capture a U-boat crew alive as they seem to have too much information about Allied shipping convoys. Unknown to them, Sub-Mariner has knocked out a Nazi sailor and taken his place aboard U-boat 41. Subby jostles the torpedoman as he is aiming to take out a ship and the captain has him knocked out. At this moment, Torch and Toro attack and the captain sees a way to get back at Subby by telling Torch and Toro that Sub-Mariner is one of their best agents. Torch and Toro fall for this and take Subby captive along with the rest of the U-boat crew.
