Synopsis: Tony Stark finds his money has been impounded, his factories shut down, and there's a warrant out for his arrest. The Avengers cannot help him as they are not home. As Iron Man, he strolls down to the waterfront to think. But from the waters rises Warlord Krang's flagship. On the run with Lady Dorma, he sees a chance to impress her, and attacks. As she tries to stop him, Iron Man strikes back, sending his ship fleeing. Desperate, Iron Man flies to his factory and crashes in through a skylight. But he barely gets to his feet when he's suddenly confronted with Sub-Mariner!

Notes: Part 1 of 3. The Avengers were apparently off fighting Power Man & The Swordsman during this story, as shown in THE AVENGERS #29 (June 1966). Warlord Krang plot continues from TALES TO ASTONISH #81 (July 1966), even though that issue probably came out a week or two after this one. Because of Stark's problems with the law, SHIELD was forced to seek other sources of weapons & technology, seen in STRANGE TALES #146-149 (July-October 1966).

Synopsis: Cap rescues a pilot whose plane was shot out of the sky, a member of A.I.M., and tells Cap about A.I.M.'s The Cosmic Cube--who's taking it to The Red Skull! Watching via remote camera, Using an "experimental manned missile" from SHIELD, Cap catches up to The Keeper. As they battle, the hypnotized man hits the ejector switch, and the two parachute down to a remote island. Red Skull gains the advantage by telling Cap he was the one who gave the orders that resulted in Bucky's death. Gaining the Cosmic Cube, he wills The Keeper into another dimension. Cap realizes his foe has become invincible!

Notes: Part 1 of 3. 1st modern-day appearance of The Red Skull. The suspended animation via experimental gas bit is a tribute to BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY. The truth about Count Royale & A.I.M. was under suspicion in STRANGE TALES #146 (June 1966); as this episode exposes their true motives, it most likely came out afterwards; yet, according to the dialogue, it must be a flashback to just before it, as Count Royale is shown on his way to The Heli-Carrier, and there is no break between STRANGE TALES #146-147 (June-July-1966). 1st appearance of The Cosmic Cube.
