Strange Tales #115 Dec 1963
"The Sandman Strikes!"
Summoned by Reed Richards to the Baxter Building, the Human Torch is informed
that his next mission is to stop the Sandman who has just escaped from prison.
Finding the crook, the Torch is told that Sandman will only face Spider-Man, as Spider-Man is the hero who had put him behind bars.
The Torch then disguises himself as Spider-Man and issues a challenge to the villain to fight him one on one,
however, the Sandman gets the drop on "Spider-Man" and attacks him from behind.
The Torch flames on, burning his imitation Spider-Man suit in the process, and tries to
fight Sandman again, and even when doused in water and unable to use his flame powers,
the Torch manages to gain the upper hand and defeat Sandman, turning him over to the authorities.
The real Spider-Man, who had been making his way towards the scene of the battle does not arrive until the fight is over.
Spider-Man expresses relief that the Torch is okay, but he is also worried that the Torch may be a more successful teenage superhero than he is.
