The Human Torch #6

In "The Threat of the Torrid Twosome," acrobat Carl Zante—self-proclaimed "the world's greatest acrobat"—presents himself to the Human Torch with an unexpected proposition: that Johnny Storm is the Fantastic Four's most vital member. While claiming to want to fight crime, Zante's true motive is far more sinister, pulling Johnny into a scheme that tests loyalty and wit. With the help of his mysterious partners, Johnny must outsmart the acrobat before the plan comes to fruition.

In "Flame On!", Air Force pilot Fred Jory—haunted by fear and doubt—finds himself on a collision course with disaster, both in the sky and in love. With the help of The Torch and Toro, he must confront his deepest insecurities as the fate of Lotty Frost and the safety of a stolen Super-Jet hinge on his courage. When Communist spies strike again, Jory steps forward—not as a hero by chance, but as one who’s finally found his fire.
