Detailed Summary:
After searching for the Silver Surfer for the past two months, the Sub-Mariner and Dr. Strange's astral form reach the southern oceans. Suddenly, the Surfer swoops down and lifts Namor out of the water. He's happy to see his one-time ally, but Namor doesn't share the same feelings. He attacks the Surfer for nearly killing him a while back. During the fight the Surfer easily overpowers the monarch of the sea and retreats to his "private valley," tired of men's violent ways.

Traveling back to Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum with Namor, Dr. Strange deduces that the Silver Surfer is going to the Valley of the Undying Ones. His late friend Kenneth Ward found the statues of the Undying Ones in a Himalayan valley and his diary notes its location. Recruiting the aid of the Hulk, the three heroes travel to the Himalayas and convince some of the local townspeople to lead them to the hidden valley.

Attacked by yeti-like creatures, they start to fight them off but are stopped by the Surfer. Namor once again lunges at him and demands an explanation for why the Surfer helped Necrodamus to capture him. The Surfer explains that this could not be true. Once he had found this valley of yetis he decided to live among them, which he has done for the past two months.

Suddenly the creatures change form and reveal their true selves. They are Calizuma and his minions are the Warrior Wizards.
