Synopsis for "An Hour for Thunder"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Amazing Adventures (Vol. 2) #8
The Avengers watch Mr. Dibbs and Black Bolt threaten the tenements on a viewscreen and make plans to travel to San Francisco, but Thor insists on going to confront Mr. Dibbs alone. The other Avengers don't know that Don Blake was the one who diagnosed Mr. Dibbs with terminal cancer, and when Thor arrives he struggles briefly with the royal family who are attempting to get Black Bolt to recognize them. Thor fails to talk Mr. Dibbs into accepting a peaceful resolution and reluctantly dispatches him with his hammer. When the royal family get a closer look at 'Black Bolt' they realize he is not their monarch, but Mr. Dibbs' associate, Roscoe, wearing Black Bolt's costume. The costume is designed to contain Black Bolt's power, and thus allows Roscoe to produce limited devastation, but Roscoe is unfamiliar with it and is killed by feedback. The real Black Bolt is being kept under guard along with the boy who befriended him.

Sorry, Katzenjammers! I hate to be shot at! This costume gets awfully drafty with holes in it!

—Captain America

In order to save Bucky from Dr. Rawlings who is about to experiment on the young ward in Greymoore Castle in England,[1] Captain America is forced to steal a Nazi fighter plane to fly from France to Britain and avoid being shot down by his fellow Allies.

Meanwhile, the Nazis return to Greymoore Castle and soon betray Dr. Rawlings in order to use Bucky as bait to kill Captain America. When Cap finally arrives at the castle, the trap is spoiled by Rawlings' sister Celia, who warns Cap. The star spangled hero then battles an army of Nazis wearing medieval armor. Although he gains the upper hand, he and the hostages are knocked out by gas.

While in France, the US army is forced to fall back on their position against the Nazis, when Steve Rogers is unaccounted for Sgt. Duffy believes that Rogers has deserted his post.

Continued from last issue...

Following an undersea earthquake, Namor believes that the surface men have resumed their nuclear bomb testing and meets with his Royal Council on what to do. After much debate, Namor decides to err on the side of diplomacy and go alone so as not to start a cataclysmic war between the two races. Before Namor can depart on his mission Atlantis is rocked by another earthquake.

Saying his farewells to Lady Dorma, she asks if she might accompany him, to which he declines. He explains that he needs her to stay in Atlantis should the earthquakes revive the Behemoth, a giant creature that was made by Atlantean scientists to defend Atlantis from any devastating attacks that was buried beneath Atlantis years ago because it proved too dangerous for even the Atlanteans to control.

Venturing out into the vast ocean, the Sub-Mariner comes across a gigantic drill that is boring into the ocean floor. This device is being controlled by a group of surface scientists attempting to learn the origins of life on the Earth. The science team is led by none other than Henry Pym and Janet van Dyne, formally Giant-Man and the Wasp. Namor uses his massive strength to stop the drill and soon finds himself attacked by frog-men that are part of the military security that have been installed on the project. Out swimming them and rising to the surface, the Sub-Mariner warns them not to attack further.

The soldiers choose to ignore this warning and open fire, prompting Namor to climb aboard the vessel. Despite the fact that he is surrounded by gunmen, Namor warns them from continuing their experiment further. However none of the soldiers and least of all Henry Pym are willing to listen to the Atlantean prince's threats, Pym warns Namor not to interfere with their project.
