In the mid-60s, the throne of Atlantis was taken from
Namor in the Tales To Astonish series. Today, we're moving forward in his quest to reclaim it.
In order to prove his worth,
Namor needed to secure Neptune's trident through a series of seemingly impossible tasks (think Hercules' 12 labours, but underwater). At the point we're at, he's being overcome by the Diamonds of Doom! Then some dude with a weirdly-bending arm pops up.
Namor gets rid of said dude by summoning electric eels to attack him and once they've subdued him, they lay out the next step in the quest.
The eels also remind him that
Dorma is a prisoner of the Faceless Ones after being banished in the previous issue. Oh yeah! It seems like an odd thing to forget but then,
Dorma's always getting into some kind of jam so come a point, it's about as routine as a morning coffee.
So rescue her...Chase the trident...What's a prince of the blood to do?
He chooses to take a stab at saving his lady love.
The attempt to save
Dorma (again) takes place in the next issue. Again,
Namor shared these books so the installments are only about a dozen pages long.
While all this was going on, the people of Atlantis rebelled against
Krang's rule. They stormed the castle, overcame his guards and as they were on the verge of reaching him,
Krang was about to turn a dial on a large computer. We'll find out the results of turning that dial next issue!
