*Marvel: One of our favourite Marvel anti-heroes here at 30th Century is the Sub-Mariner, aka Prince Namor the First, Monarch of Atlantis, whose heroism is outstripped only by his arrogance and the whole ‘The King and I’ vibe he has going on with the ladies! Following the dissolution of the distribution embargo in ’68, Namor, who had been rooming with the Hulk in Tales to Astonish, got his own solo series once more, and the grandeur and pageantry of his undersea adventures were aptly depicted by Roy Thomas and John Buscema, who also threw in a few hitherto unrevealed titbits about Namor’s origin. The Good Doctor copy of Sub-Mariner #1 is a fairly nice above average grade with excellent cover colour and gloss, staples tight and firm at spine and centrefold, lies flat and supple and has nice white to off-white pages. There is some corner blunting top left, and a tiny bit of handling wear top right. Pence stamped, the UK price has been penned over in felt tip in the unobtrusively placed T&P circle stamp below the right end of the logo, to my eye not spoiling the impact of the cover; we have reduced the grade because of this.
