American Comics Update: Bill Everett’s Sub-Mariner
*Marvel: The Silver/Bronze Age series of Sub-Mariner that started in 1968 featured from 1972 the last hurrah of creator Bill Everett on Sub-Mariner. Everett rejoined the character he had created for issues #50-55 & #57 (all featured here). He made contributions for a few later issues up to #61, but the issues in this update are essentially the last of this classic artist who died at 55. His work here was every bit as good as anything he had produced in the Golden Age and before this in the Silver Age. Particularly notable are the first appearance of Nita (later Namorita) in #50, and the revival of Venus (a character he had drawn in the Golden Age) in Everett’s masterpiece #57, pictured here. As you may have guessed, a great favourite here at 30th Century.
