    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.

    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!
