Blackstone CopySub-Mariner Comics #3 from 1941 holds historical relevance as a Golden Age comic of the early superhero genre. Created by Bill Everett, the issue is a key early appearance of Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's first antihero. The storyline features Namor defending a druidic landmark that resembles Stonehenge from Nazi invaders in Ireland, reflecting the wartime context of the issue. (The scarcity of well-preserved copies, typical of Golden Age comics, adds to its value.) Sub-Mariner Comics #3 is a coveted piece for collectors, embodying the early evolution of superhero storytelling and the enduring legacy of one of Marvel's original and intriguing characters.
