In "Riding a Rocket to Doom," the Human Torch faces a dangerous mission during wartime, tracking a mysterious enemy known as the Rabbit, who targets a Russian female sniper after she assassinates a high-ranking Field Marshal. With the stakes rising, the Rabbit employs a chilling amnesia technique, twisting the sniper’s loyalty and turning her into a weapon against her own cause. Art by Harry Sahle brings the wartime tension to life, while Alex Schomburg’s cover captures the high-stakes drama of the issue — a 10-cent comic from 1943 that blends espionage and super-spy intrigue.

When a Russian sniper turns on the Nazi hierarchy by assassinating a high-ranking Field Marshal, the Rabbit—Hitler’s eerie new operative—uses a sinister amnesia technique to twist her loyalty, turning her into a weapon against her own allies. Now, with the Human Torch and Toro racing to stop the Rabbit’s mind games, the line between enemy and ally blurs in a battle where truth itself is the target.
