The Human Torch #17

From the winter of 1944 comes this thrilling Timely Comics wartime issue, with a cover by Alex Schomburg that crackles with patriotic energy. The flaming Human Torch streaks across the sky in twin arcs of fire, wreaking havoc on an enemy installation while B-29 bombers thunder overhead and explosions erupt across the battlefield below. Sub-Mariner appears in a corner inset, promising that this issue delivers two of Marvel's most formidable Golden Age heroes for a single dime — plus the interior story "The Ghostly Horror" by Jimmy Thompson waiting inside.
