Today is the 99th birthday of the late GREAT William Blake "Bill" Everett!

Bill Everett (center) and two of his creations, the Sub-Mariner (from 1954’s The Human Torch #38) and Daredevil (from 1964’s Daredevil #1).


When and What He Did at Timely/Atlas/Marvel: Writer and artist off and on from 1939 until 1973.

Marvel-ous Accomplishments: He’s partially responsible for birthing the Marvel Universe with the creation of Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who appeared in 1939’s Marvel Comics #1, along with the Human Torch (an android that predated the Fantastic Four member of the same name by more than two decades). Namor and the Torch—created by writer-artist Carl Burgos—are considered Marvel’s first superheroes and still play significant roles in the publisher’s comics (a Sub-Mariner movie has been in various stages of development since the late 1990s). Over the years, Everett continued to work on different titles for Timely/Atlas/Marvel, even helping to create Daredevil in the 1960s and draw that character’s first issue.

100th birthday!!!

So a few months older than The King Jack. 1917 was THE year that gave Marvel its true originators.

Let's celebrate! (Marvel should too btw...)
