Thank you! Had to have it! I was working on a Swift Riders gif, but need to squash that down for CBR.
I agree, I love Fred Hembeck.
This is one my favorite action figures of Namor. I love the head sculpt, and the body type even looks like the Deodato Namor it was based on. Who are you missing? Professor X?
That is one of our unending debates around here. : )
There's definitely support for the swimmer build. Speaking of ... Marvel.com did an article on 'transforming' Olympic athletes with make-up, and I thought, FINALLY! We'll get a swimmer as Namor!. Of course we didn't. They went with ... Thor???? But this Nathan Richards is quite impressive. And he's even bi-racial.

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?

I haven't seen much interaction between the two since their time on Avengers so I'm not sure what the status is on their friendship.
Just seeing them on the Avengers together was fun. For all the ways Marvel tried to make Herc a boob, he friendship with Thor(Eric Masterson) and Namor in the Avengers was just fun to read.
Did you read the Pak and VanLente Incredible Hercules run? There was a great arc with Namor, Namora and Herc there. And Cho, pre-Hulk, was hilarious too. It was Pak and VL's take on an Atlantis vs Amazons conflict. Their "friendship" was a bit more pointed, at least on Namor's side, but it was still a funny read.
Maybe Marvel intended it that way, but I always found Herc to be more of a fun loving guy, than a boob. And generally, over all his mini-series and appearances, I enjoyed them alot.

I guess it depends on the writer and their take on Herc. Of course, I think if you are writing him as an idiot boob, then you are writing him wrong. I mean, look at that classic Roger Stern Avengers issue. It is Herc who realizes Namor is depressed and figures out exactly how to get him out that funk, by giving him The Gift! Not an idiot at all.
And yes, highly recommend the Herc run. Even without Namor, it was a good read.

Bruce Timm Invaders shirt!
Maybe I've seen this image before, but I didn't realize it was an actual licensed Marvel shirt! How awesome is that? Of course, it allegedly is vintage, so I'm not sure I'll be able to find it, but I'm always up for a good hunt.

That is a gorgeous! In some ways, I like this pencil sketch better than the finished painting. But that variant is too pricey for me.
And YES! I am definitely looking for that Bruce Timm Invaders shirt. May take me awhile to find it, but I'm on the hunt!

Oh, you found the Timm art! Nice! I sort of like that first one better.
Yep, Alex Ross definitely appreciates our prince. I hope when we do get an ongoing, it will get the Alex Ross cover treatment that Cap and Hulk have been getting. Yes, I dream big. :P
