X-Men: The Early Years #6
In "Sub-Mariner! Joins the Evil Mutants," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a classic clash of titans as Xavier and Magneto both spot Namor as a potential mutant—only for Magneto to seize the moment, invading Atlantis with an offer to join his Brotherhood. With the Scarlet Witch's influence swirling and the X-Men rushing in, Namor faces a choice that will redefine his allegiance. Matt Ryan’s striking cover captures the drama, while Kirby’s dynamic art and Chic Stone’s inks bring the underwater showdown to life.
