Aaaah. How could I forget Gene Colan?! He did a great job on Namor, especially in the underwater stuff. His work was so dynamic. You really got the sense that Namor and the Atlanteans were underwater. I do like the Tales to Astonish work, but moreso the ones that Vince Colletta did NOT ink. He really didn't do Colan's work justice -- it needs a lot of solid darks, and Colletta didn't do that.
The Doctor Doom arc in Sub-Mariner 47-49 was gorgeous too.
Welcome! Glad to see new fans of our Prince!
Much like Jae Lee's Namor was a shock after John Byrne, I think Everett's Namor was a bit of art shock after Gene Colan and Sal Buscema's runs. Plus, his writing style was completely different from the angst of Gerry Conway. As a kid, I didn't appreciate Everett's last run, but now, seeing it, I definitely appreciate his style and how much love he put on those pages.
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 appears in Fantastic Four Grand Design (2019) #1 quite a bit.
There is a more than that but mainly it went over all the early FF days.

Happy Halloween, friends! Excellent, choice, IW!! Here's hoping there are ALOT of Namor Halloween costumes donned tonight. ;p
Still looking for interiors, but here's the Halloween issue where Namor and the Defenders save the infamous Rutland, VT Halloween Parade ... and the world too.

Great picks for Halloween images! Happy Halloween everyone! I'm gonna go with the Defenders too! That Defenders #1 story was pretty Halloweenee, as most of the Defenders stories were!
Ah, my friends, you are giving me ooey-gooey Halloween Goodness with those Defenders issues!
Plus, the Nameless Ones! And Necrodamus too! (yeah, even from that one pic, I know 'em when I see him)
What a Great Pumpkin Halloween Treat!

A little late, but it was 80 years ago in October, 1939 in Marvel Mystery Comics #2 when the Sub-Mariner emerged in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York.
