I was going to also suggest Tom Strong #15, but it looks like you beat me to that one by about 19 months.

Or maybe I need to get my eyes checked and see the "See also." Ye gads.

Run, Namor...RUN!

Something I could never understand about that Namor debut issue cover:
The F.F. were still being introduced to readers at this stage...

...So why not show Sue turning invisible?

...Why isn't Johnny chucking fireballs?

...Why isn't Reed stretching?
A fish man is running off with his woman!

...Why is Ben just looking at his hand rather than doing something impressively strong?

...And why isn't Namor displaying his powers, or , at least, flying?

This scene could almost be of a bunch of youngsters skylarking on a beach.

Not very dynamic.
Not very Marvel!
