Highest Graded
Prince Namor — known to surface-dwellers as the Sub-Mariner — first took off as one of the Big Three superheroes introduced by Timely Comics in the Golden Age. Alongside the Human Torch and Captain America, Namor battled the Axis forces in both solo adventures and sometimes as a team.

In the process, Timely was launched as a publishing powerhouse that would eventually take on the Marvel mantle. As part of the Silver Age revival, the always ill-tempered Namor was brought back in the pages of the Fantastic Four's top-selling title. Namor was soon headlining his own book with a premiere issue looking back at his long history. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by John Buscema and Frank Giacoia, Subby’s Silver Age series would run for seventy-two issues. Namor would also become a favorite character across the Marvel universe, and continues to be one of the most valued characters of both fans and investors.


This striking comic sits atop a throne of top-graded CGC Census copies. The striking cover by John Buscema and Sol Brodsky still has all the impact of when this first issue hit the newsstands nearly 60 years ago!
