Review/plot:
Atlantis is under attack from an undersea barbarian named Attuma who is given confidence by the fact that ancient prophecies say he will conquer Atlantis.

Lady Dorma betrays Namor out of jealousy and then regrets it, so she recruits the FF to help fight off Attuma's horde. They do so anonymously.

Namor seems to be back on the throne even though the end of FF annual #1 implied that this people abandoned him because he was too soft on the surface dwellers.

It's a fairly simple and fun fight issue.

Here are some nice images:

I always thought Attuma had potential. He's basically a comic book version of Genghis Khan. How can you not have a great villain with that concept?

I wonder if anyone has ever done a timeline comparison between Namor and Aquaman about when was on their respective thrones and when they weren't.

This is a Smithsonian candidate starting with the Classic partial photo Cover! The 1st comment above is Spot On with the Genghis Khan comparison and Attuma carries a heavy burden Of revealed Legacy to the thrown thus his relentless Tyrant mibdset! This is a Huge Book in comic History!

Actually Attuma is not modeled on Genghis Khan just look at his name: He was modeled on Attila the Hun.

As an archetype, Attila and Genghis are the same - the nomadic barbarian who conquers and rules an empire. So yes, Attuma is the same.
