The Invaders #25

Against a backdrop of Egyptian pyramids, the Scarlet Scarab stands triumphant, hoisting the flaming Human Torch overhead while a defeated Namor lies sprawled in the rubble at his feet — it's a striking image of the Invaders in genuine peril. Captain America races forward with shield raised as the urgency of the cover's dialogue makes clear: there may not be much time left to turn the tide. Gil Kane and Frank Giacoia deliver a dynamic 1978 composition that captures the WWII-era team at their most desperate, making this issue of Marvel's "Greatest Super-Heroes of World War Two" one you'll want to read cover to cover.
