Since I haven't seen much celebration from Marvel itself of this momentous occasion, and I've only seen one place with a date, of April 1, I've decided to make the ENTIRE month of April an 80th Anniversary Celebration for Namor the Sub-Mariner! I'll try to post at least 80 amazing, or not so amazing, things about Namor this month. And since Marvel has not done so, I'd like to make a list of representative comics that could have gone into a Sub-Mariner 80th, or 75th, Anniversary book, like Marvel put out for Captain America and DC has put out for Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. I welcome any suggestions of comics for this endeavor.
And all posts and ideas celebrating this milestone anniversary for Marvel's oldest character are encouraged and welcomed!
