“When Falls a Hero!”

In "When Falls a Hero!", Black Bolt's long isolation comes to a shocking end as he finally meets his cousins and brother Maximus—only for Maximus to launch a brutal assault, desperate to provoke Black Bolt into speaking and expose him as unfit to rule. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, with inks by Joe Sinnott and letters by Artie Simek, this pivotal issue captures the tension of a throne threatened from within. The cover by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta perfectly frames the moment of confrontation, hinting at the storm to come.
