Jon Berk CollectionIssues of Amazing-Man Comics are already difficult to find, and the surrealistic design of Bill Everett's classic cover for #6 has left an enduring impression on the minds of Golden Age fans. These patriotic illustrations were some of the most effective forms of propaganda during the heady times of WWII, and collectors search out all of the classic images from this important era of comic book history. Today, this rare book (with only 28 copies appearing on the CGC Census) has become a true collectible as a lesser-known rarity that leaves an indelible mark on readers.
Artist Information
Bill Everett was an American comic book writer-artist best known for creating Namor the Sub-Mariner, as well as co-creating Daredevil with writer Stan Lee for Marvel Comics. Everett fell into comics almost by accident in the industry's earliest days, creating the character Amazing-Man for Centaur Publications in 1939. That same year saw Everett contributing the first Sub-Mariner story for Marvel Mystery Comics #1, the very first book from Timely Comics (which would eventually become Marvel Comics). Sub-Mariner would prove to be one of Timely's earliest hits, and Everett would continue drawing Namor's adventures until 1949. In the '50s, Everett would continue working for what was now Atlas Comics on numerous titles, occasionally reviving Sub-Mariner. With the explosion of the Marvel Age in the '60s, Everett joined Stan Lee in co-creating and drawing the first issue of Daredevil. He also found regular work contributing to Tales to Astonish and Strange Tales. The Sub-Mariner would return again in Tales to Astonish #85, continuing there (and then in his own title) with sporadic contributions from Everett. Bill Everett died suddenly at the age of 55 in 1973.
