This month, Professors Lee and Ditko give us a double doctorate in strangeness and octopusery! Not to be outdone, Lee and Kirby unleash the armies of Atlantis on the surface world in the most epic Marvel story to date! Doctor Doom, Loki, Egghead, the Wizard, and Paste-Pot Pete all return, and Ant-Man shows up at the Baxter Building like some kind of wacky sitcom neighbor.
Note: We started out by titling these episodes with the cover date (the date that's printed on the cover), but we switched to their newsstand dates (the dates they went on sale) around episode #50. The newsstand date for this episode is April/May 1963.
