True North Collection
Sub-Mariner Comics #1 brought Marvel's premiere superhero into his first solo book, and gave Prince Namor a new place in history as the first character to battle Hitler's Axis forces on the cover of a comic book. Alex Schomburg's compelling Nazi-bashing illustration for this issue stands out as one of the finest examples of the wartime battle cover. Namor's creator, Bill Everett, said he came up with the character’s name after writing several "noble" words backward, Roman being one of them, hence the moniker Namor. The Sub-Mariner was featured in the very first issue that Timely Comics ever released, Marvel Comics #1, and went on to appear in many titles alongside his Golden Age compatriots Human Torch, and Captain America.
_______________________________________________
This striking 9.6 Sub-Mariner Comics #1 has been carefully restored to keep all of its original look and feel while still providing a strikingly impressive preservation of Alex Schomburg's classic WWII cover from 1941.
