American Update: The Power of Prince Namor! Sub-Mariner #1 (1968)
*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 his eye for the laydees! Following the breakage of the distribution embargo in ’68, Namor, who had been rooming with the Hulk in Tales to Astonish, got his own solo series for the first time since 1955, and the grandeur and pageantry of his undersea adventures was aptly depicted by Roy Thomas and John Buscema, who also threw in a few hitherto unrevealed titbits about Namor’s ancestry. With the recent smash success of the Aquaman movie, can a media crossover starring the original aquatic avenger be far behind? Buy now and avoid the rush! This is a VG+ p copy of Sub-Mariner #1, lovely interiors, firm staples at cover and centrefold, unmarred cover scene, and only a little irregularity at the right edge (a guillotining error in the original printing process, we think) precluding a still higher grade. VG+ p £90. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
