The Human Torch #4
In "The Human Torch Meets Paste-Pot Pete!", the fiery hero faces off against a bizarre new threat when a communist spy manipulates Professor Marko into weaponizing a vacuum device atop an observatory, threatening to drain the planet’s atmosphere. Written by Hank Chapman and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Ayers and Ernie Bache, this 1975 Marvel classic sees the Human Torch and Toro team up to stop a mad scheme before it’s too late. The cover by Ron Wilson, Marie Severin, and Frank Giacoia captures the chaos in bold, colorful detail.
In "The World's End," the Human Torch and Toro race against time to stop Professor Marko, a disgraced scientist turned villain, from unleashing a monstrous vacuum device atop an observatory—intent on sucking the air from the planet. With Stella Marko caught in the crossfire and Gorodok drawn into the chaos, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as the Torch fights to prevent a catastrophic end.
