Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?

Defenders #12 Feb 1974
"The Titan Strikes Back!"
Wandering in the woods, the Hulk is attacked by Xemnu the Titan, who has once again returned to Earth.
Using it's vast mental powers, Xemnu knocks the Hulk out with a telekinetic barrage of debris from the forest.
However before passing out, the Hulk is able to send out a mystic summons to Dr. Strange for help.
Back in New York, at Dr. Strange's Sanctum, Strange presents Valkyrie with a new sword
-- Dragon Fang -- to replace the loss of the Ebony Blade which she relinquished to the Black Knight.
Receiving the Hulk's distress call, Strange and Val travel to the town of Plucketville, run by mayor Amois Moses.
Strange and Val then notice that the towns people are not what they seem, and soon discover that Moses is really
a disguised Xemnu who is plotting to fly the people of Plucketville to be host bodies to a new race of Titans.
Freeing the Hulk, a battle erupts between Xemnu and the Defenders.
In the aftermath, Xemnu's plot is foiled, and as Xemnu tries to escape,
the Hulk throws the alien's rocket at him causing an explosion that seemingly kills Xemnu.
Afterwards, the thankful Hulk considers "dumb magician" his friend and the three Defenders walk depart for home.

Nerdgasm!!
I love, love, love that ish (#12, if the ole memory serves) where Val is featured and Dragonfang is offered to her by Doc Strange!
Look at how well Dragonfang is drawn! And the blowing golden color!
Those definitely bring back some memories. I remember wondering how Val could fight with half her face covered by her hair. LOL!
Cool pages! Thanks for posting them 616!

I read somewhere online a few years ago, that the Dragon Tusk of that long-dead Dragon that Dragonfang was carved from, was really from Asgard!?!
I never read that anywhere, it certainly does not state that in the source material above, and I was wondering if that was true, where that story appeared/came from, or any other news, etc.
A slick Paul M Smith depiction of the Defenders.

Looks like the Netflix Defenders are officially no more. The last two shows just got cancelled.
