SUB-MARINER VERSUS THE HUMAN RACE! (1963)

Despite starting out as an enemy of the human race, particularly the United States, in his earliest Golden Age appearances, Namor the Sub-Mariner would join the fight against the Nazis alongside Captain America and the original Human Torch during World War II. When he returned to comics in the pages of Fantastic Four, the Sub-Mariner started out as one of their recurring enemies. 

Namor fought the Fantastic Four in his first modern appearance, then teamed up with Doctor Doom, preyed on the FF's bankruptcy and tackled the modern Human Torch alone. But he's about to step up his threat level by declaring all of humanity as his enemy as his search for lost Atlantis finally comes to a head.

This story acts as the official first modern appearance of Atlantis, Lady Dorma and the Atlanteans and introduces Lord Krang and Thakor...

MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales , Journey into Mystery , Amazing Adventures , Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe ! The highlight is the Hulk 's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the  Fin Fang Four ! The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales. Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1 [1/2] Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prow...

ISLAND OF THE DAMNED (1972)

It's Halloween, so how's about a little old school werewolf action ?  Around this time, Marvel had a tendency to try new characters out in titles like Marvel Spotlight or Marvel Premiere , then give them their own series if they proved to be popular. However, the characters' first issues often carried on the story from those other books, so you'd pick up issue 1 only to find yourself in the middle of an ongoing tale (for other examples, see Captain Marvel in THE COMING OF CAPTAIN MARVEL or Adam Warlock in COUNT-DOWN FOR COUNTER-EARTH ). In the Werewolf By Night 's case, this little two-parter featuring his search for the Darkhold  would flow from Marvel Spotlight into his very own ongoing series. Jack Russell has only recently discovered his true family legacy and that Phillip Russell , the man he believed to be his father, is actually his uncle. His biological father, Baron Gregory Russoff (Phillip's brother), was a magic user and werewolf. Jack inherite...
