 Great continuation of the previous issue. That panel with Sue Richards trying to contain the flames stands out for me for some reason. I liked that she was able to do so much against the various villains they've fought. But this fire was just too big. That seemed a pretty big deal to me when I first read it.

 Using characters from other series was pretty (overly?) common back then. But this issue showed how you can have additions to the cast and still keep the focus solely on the main character(s). Nice use of Iron Man, Sue & Reed Richards.

Art from this vintage is just GREAT.  Just look at Sue's face on page 22...

Gotta love how the first page reminds me of the intros to the 1960's Batman TV show.

That next issue blurb has become somewhat prophetic, hasn't it, given some of the things we have seen ^^***** killing trees for in the past couple of years.

There's a lotta Barbie pink in those backgrounds.  Since I don't have the book handy, was that something called for/dictated by the story?  (The sky starts off black with smoke, then changes...)

Outstanding issue...I geeked out a little when I saw a JB Speedball in the
back.
