Notes:
Xemnu the Titan previously appeared in Monsters on the Prowl (Marvel, 1971 series) #11 and #14, reprints of Journey Into Mystery (Marvel, 1952 series) #62 and #66. This was the first encounter between the Hulk and Xemnu. Xemnu was originally called the Hulk when he debuted two years before the Bruce Banner/Hulk.
In one sequence, the Sub-Mariner saves two astronauts from a giant octopus (mistakenly referred to as a squid) after their space capsule crashes into the ocean.
