In this episode, two of Marvel's biggest stars make their debut! In Fantastic Four #4, Namor, the Sub-Mariner tries to drown New York City and steal Reed Richard's girlfriend. And in Incredible Hulk #1, Bruce Banner saves the life of teenager Rick Jones and immediately regrets that decision for so many reasons.
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 February/March 1962.
(PS: No, you didn't miss an episode. Fantastic Four was still on a bimonthly publishing schedule.)
