In "Red Skull in the Sunset!", the Thing joins the Liberty Legion in a high-stakes mission to correct a timeline fracture caused by a lost Vibranium canister that altered World War II. With the Fantastic Four racing through time to stop Baron Zemo and reclaim the stolen metal, the aftermath leaves only half the material accounted for—leaving the Thing poised to dive back into the past once more. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated with dynamic precision by John Buscema, inks by Sam Grainger, and colors by Phil Rache, this issue features a classic cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott.
