The Human Torch #6
In "Secret Arsenal," the Human Torch takes on a chilling mystery when a cryptic newspaper ad urges desperate people to seek help at a hidden address—only to find themselves drawn into a dangerous scheme orchestrated by a man named Mr. Haskell. Written by Mickey Spillane and brought to life by Carl Burgos on art and inks, this 1941 issue blends early superhero intrigue with a dark, socially aware twist. The cover by Alex Schomburg captures the tension perfectly, setting the tone for a story that dares to question where help truly lies.
