#namor80

Don't forget to e-mail Marvel at: [email protected] (mark “okay to print” if you want) to tell them we want a Namor the Sub-Mariner ongoing comic solo!!!

And thus, 80 years ago, Bill Everett introduced his Ultra-Man of the Deep in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly 1.  Happy Anniversary to Marvel’s oldest, and best, character!

- Bill Everett, creator of Namor the Sub-Mariner 

My two favorite X-Men, Emma Frost and Namor take a look inside his mind and Namor finds out how he feels about being a mutant, and how he sees himself. Dark X-Men: The Beginning (2009) #3. 

 Ah nothing says love at first sight like having a gun pointed to your head, good thing he is bullet proof. Police officer Betty Dean was the first friend Namor had on the surface. Marvel Mystery Comics (1939) #3.  

Captain America & Namor have a long history together and Steve is one of the few people that Namor calls brother. I loved that this was shown in New Avengers (2010) #29.

Uncanny X-Men (1963) #6

Namor frees Captain America from the ice! This was first shown in Avengers (1963) #4. However the retelling I like the most was in Captain America Reborn (2009) #3 because it shows things from Steve's pov.
