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?
Namor happy??? I don't think Marvel even knows what that means anymore. LOL
Have to agree. I LOVE your Rock Star Namor commission!
Jim is still in the Iron Man book? Had no idea.
You know, we rarely see Jim and Namor together unless it's Invader related. I think the 90s Namor run and the Heroes for Hire that K7P5V posted are the only non-Invaders stuff out there. Am I wrong?
It certainly reminds Namor of his youth.

Another Marvel book to keep an eye out for.
https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-Classi...30524855&psc=1
It lists at $125. I was hoping it wasn't so pricey, but it is less expensive than trying to get even one of these vintage posters. I've seen them go for $300 +
May have to wait for this Calendar, instead, which will hopefully come out AND have at least one of the Namor posters.

Instead of the image of Captain Marvel punching Namor, I wish they'd used this one instead.

I love that last one you posts, with Namor flying past the statue of liberty, its very cool.
Thanks Rev! I am waiting a bit for my next commission but hopefully something good. I really want a Namor/Dorma piece but I have yet to settle on what it is exactly I want.
You are right, Jim & Namor were friends in the 90s outside of the Invaders, and also in the Torch miniseries we have Jim and Namor in one comic together. Unless we are counting the golden age era of course, then they had more comics together, lol.

edit: Hold on, I just saw it written that this was supposed to be a pitch for a Namor series? Wonder what happened there. Knowing Marvel they probably said "Namor doesn't sell" >:/

I LOVE this Matthew Dunn piece. It kind of reminds me of Tom Coker on the Greg Pak Marvel Comics Presents story. It also looks like Namor is standing there inspecting his whale troops in parade. LOL!
Hmmm. Well, the first Budiansky piece was probably part of a pitch for the 1984 Prince Namor mini-series he did with J. M. DeMatteis. The second pic, with the Marvel Mystery Comics dress seems like a later fan / commissioned addition to the original piece.
There have been a few "failed" pitches for Namor series I've heard of / seen, but the series usual went ahead with another set of creators. For example, both Kieron Gillen and Rick Remender did pitches for a Namor series in 2009ish -- I think they were asked to. Marvel didn't go with either pitch, but instead went with Stuart Moore's pitch, and we got his Namor the First Mutant series from that in 2010ish.
Jim Starlin did a pitch for a Namor series, involving the Russians attacking Atlantis, IIRC, and there was even a page or two of art. However, Marvel went with the Bill Jemas and Salvador LaRocca Tsunami Teen Namor.
Isn't it? So much better than getting punched by Captain Marvel. LOL!
Ah, yes, I forgot about that Torch mini-series. It think it is the only one of the Alex Ross Invaders series that didn't get hardcover treatment. I don't think the rest of the Invaders, other than Toro and Namor, were part of that book. I could definitely go for a Jim Hammond and Namor buddy book ... maybe a little like the Wonderman and Beast stuff from the 1980s?
Can't wait to see a Namor and Dorma piece! Just not enough of those around nowadays.

To the utmost, I agree! I'd even settle for the updated version from 2000 (LOL!):
I know, right?! I keep forgetting that Hercules used to carry around the Golden Mace (https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Mace):
