After the Fantastic Four's groundbreaking debut, readers couldn't get enough of Marvel's innovative new heroes - especially the Human Torch! So Stan Lee and Jack Kirby gave the fiery teen sensation his own series in the pages of STRANGE TALES!

Also featuring Marvel's first fire-and-ice battle between the Torch and the X-Men's Iceman - and guest stars Spider-Man, Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman!

Mary Jane is facing an impossible choice, but it might not be a problem for long - not after Gwen Stacy arrives in school and sets her sights on Peter! What's a lovesick MJ to do? She wasn't always the girl she is today, but how did she become the sort of person to push her problems away rather than face them? And how can she overcome this self-destructive habit?
