Tales to Astonish 1959 #71 - 3.5 - $18.00
Namor heads into the Forbidden Deeps as he continues his quest for Neptune's Trident. In order to get the second clue he needs to find the trident, he must face and defeat the Seaweed Man, never conquered in all the ages that he's ruled his domain. Regretting her betrayal of Namor, Dorma vows to win him back though it destroy both of them in the process. Meanwhile, back in Atlantis, the natives are beginning to get restless under Krang's iron rule.
The Hulk and Rick barely make it out of the blast radius as Ross fires the giant "Sunday Punch" missile at the Leader's giant Humanoid bringing the massive robot down. The pair decide to hide in their underground cave but are spotted by military planes as they enter. Ross and Talbot attack, threatening the underground complex and Bruce's gamma machine. The Hulk pushes Rick out to safety just as the Leader appears and tells the Jade Giant he will save him from his sticky predicament if only he agrees to serve the big-brained bad guy.
