Jack Kirby cover; 1st Silver Age app of Sub-Mariner; 1st "Flame On"; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)Before bringing back Captain America in 1963, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby experimented with reviving Golden Age star Namor the Sub-Mariner for 1961's Fantastic Four #4. Typically, the team also turned up the drama. Where the Golden Age Namor was a tortured anti-hero, the Silver Age Namor was happily settled into hating humans. Sue Storm was the sole exception, which made Namor specifically enraged at her fellow members of the Fantastic Four. This amazing return would help to establish the new comic as one of the most gloriously inventive of all Silver Age Marvel titles—with Namor's continuing popularity ensuring that this copy remains a top collectible.

Rumors are swirling around Namor’s inclusion in “Black Panther 2” making every important key in the Sub-Mariner’s history the subject of much excitement. Namor’s first Silver Age appearance is a huge milestone in the character’s development, updating the Atlantean prince for the Marvel Age, and kicking off his obsession with Sue Storm, this is already a beloved issue of Fantastic Four which is poised for a real jump in value should the rumors be true. The world has waited for several announcements concerning major Marvel characters and their first appearances in the MCU, and Namor has been near the top of the list for a while now, we expect to see a lot of activity surrounding the character in the
oncoming months. This copy is in amazing shape, with tight binding, blinding hues, a solid spine, and clean edges.
