Thanksgiving Feast 2010! "Even the Noble Die!" by Conway and Colan

Welcome back to Thanksgiving Feast 2010, Groove-ophiles! Check out this poignant tale from Sub-Mariner #46 (November 1971).

Dig it, baby--Tiger Shark, Llyra, Stingray, the Human Torch, and Subby's dad (!?!)! As Archie and Edith sang, "Those were the days!" Here's the top-flight team of Gerry Conway, Gene Colan, and Mike Esposito with..."Even the Noble Die!"
