American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Fantastic Four #33 – The Debut of Attuma
*Marvel: In issue #33 of their ongoing series, the Fantastic Four, already in a love/hate relationship with Namor the Sub-Mariner (some more ‘love’ than others, eh Sue?) found themselves allied with Namor when Attuma, a Rogue Atlantean Warlord who believed himself destined to bring about a new Atlantean Empire, usurped Namor’s throne. This issue saw the first major steps away from pure super-villainhood by Namor, and a return to his former anti-hero status, as Attuma rapidly established himself as a major threat in the Marvel Universe, appearing scores of times before eventually being beheaded – but don’t worry, it’s comics, he’ll be back any minute now! This is a beautiful FN+ cents copy, featuring the first of Kirby’s background photo-collages to make it onto the front cover. On sale at £150.
