Russkie Smashers YOUNG MEN COMICS "Sub-Mariner in the Land Below the Sun!"

Along with Captain America, both the Golden Age Human Torch and Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner...
...battled Russkies (and Red Chinese) for a couple of years in the 1950s!
Though Namor (like Captain America & Bucky and the Human Torch & Toro) had returned in Atlas' Young Men #24 (1953), his first few stories were sci-fi/fantasy-oriented!
This tale, written and illustrated by creator Bill Everett from Atlas' Young Men #28 (1954), was his first Russkie-smashing adventure, but with supernatural elements...making it quite apropos for Halloween, eh?
BTW, note that almost all the Atlantians have big "bug eyes" and green skin, but Dorma, who wasn't half-human like Namor, has Caucasian flesh-tone!
When she was re-introduced in the Silver Age, they gave her the standard blue skin (and human eyes) all the other Atlantians had!
Next Week, 
Sub-Mariner Returns in Two Adventures...

A Russkie-Smashing Saga
and
His First Bronze-Age Encounter with...

The Black Panther!
