The Silver Surfer #15

A mid-air clash over a city skyline sets the stage for "The Flame and the Fury!" — cover pencils by Marie Severin and inks by Joe Sinnott capture the Human Torch blazing downward, fists ignited, striking the Silver Surfer's board in a burst of raw energy while the Surfer himself reels away against the blue sky. The bold banner says it all: the Torch is on the attack, and this 1970 Stan Lee–written issue promises the kind of Marvel hero-vs-hero friction that made the era so compelling. With John Buscema on interior art and Norrin Radd already on the defensive before the first page turns, this is a vivid snapshot of the Surfer's ongoing struggle against a world that often meets him with hostility rather than understanding.
