The Human Torch

At the Tipton Classic auto race, a woman sits reading the newspaper while waiting for the race to start. She talks to the stranger sitting next to her about the Human Torch's recent killing of Professor Horton who created him. The stranger, who is the Human Torch wearing ordinary clothes, states that the professor was in it for fame and fortune and the Human Torch did not approve. At this, the race begins but at the third lap, car #7 is forced off the track. The Human Torch ignites and tries to help save the driver. He realizes being too late and the driver has already died. He looks to the other cars and sees them also aflame. He notices a plane flying overhead and each time it gets behind a car, that car suddenly combusts.

Meanwhile, Blackie Ross, after winning the race yells to call the police and runs towards the Human Torch. He tells a cop that the Human Torch is responsible for the other driver deaths and the cop handcuffs the flamed out Torch with the speed of lightning to take him in for murder. The handcuffs melt off and the cop burns his hand but the Torch tells the policeman that he has nothing to hide and gives himself in. In his cell, the Torch meets the man named Johnson who tells the Torch that he knows about the Torch's innocence and that Blackie Ross is the one who caused all the mayhem and deaths at the races. The Human Torch is angry and says he is gonna get Ross and breaks out of jail. The cops try to stop him but their bullets melt before they hit him and he escapes.

Days later, the Torch finds another race, the Anita Classic. He heads to the race to look for Ross. The police are on the lookout and he climbs a tree and sees the same plane flying over the cars. The plane hits one of the cars with an incendiary bullet and it goes up in flames. The Torch tries to stop the plane and forces it down by melting it. It lands on the infield and the pilot runs for it. The Torch flames around him and stops the pilot while the plane explodes. The pilot tells Torch that all the evidence went up in that plane so he has nothing against him or Blackie Ross. The fire department trucks arrive and the Torch takes off.

The Torch ends up at a local Hotel Range frequented by drivers. He is recognized by a man named Red, who calls Blackie to tell the Torch is there. Blackie's girlfriend Lola comes up with a plan and heads to the hotel. She tells the Torch that her brother was killed by Blackie and that he stays at the Elite Garage. She offers to take the Torch to catch Blackie and drives him there. She tricks him into opening a door that makes him fall into an open vat of water. Blackie is waiting at the vat and loads it in a truck to haul into the lime pit located many hours driving away. The pit has been closed for 10 years but it's still full of boiling lime. They toss him into hot lime and Ross thinks he heard laughing but Lola assures him that the Torch is buried in the lime. They head for the Auson City race. That night the Torch escapes by burning all the lime off. The villagers see the mighty flame and are nervous.

The Torch reads about the new race in Auson City and heads there to check on Ross. He finds him and attacks his car. It crashes into the stands. The Torch is about to chase but realizes the danger he poses to the people in the stands. He has to put out the flames that he'd already started and does this by yelling "Yerrooo" at the flames. Blackie and his minions escape to the Altor Steel Company's mill. Blackie decides to fight back with a water hoses and he and his gang suit up in asbestos suits to attack. They back the Torch into a spot where the gang pours molten steel onto him. The Torch escapes and stops the criminals with a fireball because their asbestos suits can't stop the heat from it. He also throws a fireball directly into one gang member's face mask, cutting the glass frame and blinding the man. A wall of the building falls onto the Torch due to the heat and Blackie and his gang flee the building and escape. Suddenly, Johnson shows up and says he is working for the police as an undercover man and tells the Torch that Blackie is heading for the airport.

The Human Torch shows up at the airport and grounds the Blackie's plane as it is taking off. He runs up to the pilot and punches him in the jaw, burning it. The Torch notices that Blackie wasn't on a plane. Blackie's car arrives at the scene and the racketeer tries to run over the Torch with his car but misses. The Torch rips the hood off the car and pops one of its tires. The car still drives on, swerving. The Torch burns a ditch in the ground and the car hits it. It goes flying up in the air and when it hits the ground it comes to a stop. The car is burning wildly and Blackie, pinned against the wheel, yells from inside that he is burning to death. The Torch threatens to leave him to burn without a confession. He forgets that he is wearing an asbestos suit and agrees. The Torch frees Blackie and the mob boss nicely writes the complete confession. The cops show up and the Torch has them take him in. As the cops turn to thank him, all they see is burning footprints.

Continuity Notes

  • This story states that Phineas Horton was killed by the Human Torch after the events of Marvel Comics #1. However Saga of the Original Human Torch #1 states that Horton's death was faked by the United States Government. This was used to explain how Horton appeared alive again in Human Torch Comics #8.

The Sub-Mariner

Namor jumps from the plane that he had stolen and lands into the waters of the bay around New York City. He is amazed by all the lights and buildings. He is suddenly sucked into a water pipe at an electrical plant. He is pulled through the pipe and at one point he busts through it. As the workers try to fix the pipe he sneaks above them and watches. He accidentally hits a live electrical wire and thinks it is the humans attacking, so he picks up a girder and throws it at the workers and destroys the main generators. He flees the scene and lands in the lake in Central Park. A policeman sees him and whistles for help. The cop begins to shoot at Namor and the Sub-Mariner is interested in the bullets and grabs one while it is fired at him. The policeman gets an oarsman to take him out on the water after Namor, but Namor again flees the scene.

Namor lands in the East River and climbs into the sea wall. There he finds a tramp and demands his clothing. He comes out of the sewers right onto Fifth Avenue. He runs down the street and comes to a house where he tries to enter to get better clothing. He knocks on the door and a butler answers and states that he is not to enter the front door, that he must use the service entrance since he is unkempt and disheveled. A woman inside the home tells the butler to let him inside. Her cigarette slips and catches her clothes on fire. Namor rushes to help and the water inside of his body erupts out and puts out the flame. The woman faints and Namor puts her down on the couch. Then he wraps himself in a curtain and leaves through the window. The woman is picked up by an ambulance that was called to the house. Namor jumps onto the ambulance as it leaves for the hospital. He grabs the woman as she is taken inside the hospital. They fly off toward the docks where Namor plans to take her underwater to use against the humans somehow. The police chase him and Namor kills several of them and dives into the water with the woman. Surviving police officers jump in after Namor and his victim. They struggle underwater and luckily get her before she drowns but with the loss of one of the policemen.

Tex asks him to join the gang at their ranch. They head back to there and Tebbs tries to bully the Masked Raider but he stands up to him. Tebbs appreciates that and asks him to join for dinner and tells him about the job and his gang.
