Pg. 6; Bill Everett pencils and inks; image size 10" x 15" - SUB-MARINER IN ALL PANELS
SUB-MARINER IN ALL PANELSBill Everett contributed to the very earliest days of Timely Comics by creating one of the publisher's big three heroes, Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who, along with Captain America and the Human Torch, helped put the imprint on the map in the Golden Age. This awesome page from Sub-Mariner #50 sees Everett and his greatest creation together once again decades later. An exceptional page that showcases Namor in every frame, and all the panels are underwater to boot. On his quest to rescue Namorita, daughter of Namora, the Antlantean antihero encounters a lobsterish lout, who engages him in a savage submerged showdown. Everett's penchant for seamless storytelling and refined draftmanship are on full display in this wonderful piece, Sub-Mariner fans rejoice, as this late addition to our next Event Auction will soon go home with a devoted Namor nut.
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.
