First Silver Age Human Torch solo story. This story is divided into two parts: an untitled part one (7 pp) and Part 2–"The Flaming Fury Strikes Back!" (6 pp). Contains a diagram of Sue & Johnny's house & brief recap of the Fantastic Four's origin. Splash bills Johnny as "America's Favorite Superhero".
This spin-off series was no doubt the result of publisher Martin Goodman feeling that "The Human Torch" had been good luck for him, dating all the way back to Marvel Comics #1 (October 1939). The plot about spies trying to scare townsfolk away from where a submarine is docking may have served as the inspiration for the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon "Return of the Flying Dutchman".

- Synopsis
- In prison, the Wizard becomes a model prisoner—just so he can become a trustee, work in the hospital, have access to chemicals...and break out of jail! The police soon have him surrounded in his house but can't get in because of its defenses. He challenges the Torch to a battle to decide who is the better man. Against Sue's advice Johnny accepts the challenge, and he does pretty well until Sue shows up to "help" him. Thanks to her, he's caught, and both are almost killed in a bomb blast. But Johnny manages to free them both, get rid of the bomb, and corral the "superior intellect".

- The Mad Thinker once again wants to tackle the F.F., though the Puppet Master wants nothing to do with it. Under mind control, Ben fights Johnny in mid-flight. However, the shock of seeing Johnny falling causes the Thing to change back to Ben Grimm, freeing him from control. He rescues Johnny, then gets help from Reed. A specially designed helmet worn by Ben causes psychic feedback. Reed hopes the Puppet Master, knowing they have a defense against him, will never strike at them again.
