Herb Trimpe

A real-world figure immortalized within the pages of Marvel comics, Herb Trimpe steps into the Silver Age spotlight with his 1969 debut in Sub-Mariner #19 — a collector-noted key issue brought to life by Roy Thomas and Marie Severin. Best known off the page as one of Marvel's most beloved Bronze Age pencilers, Trimpe turns up here as a character in his own right, sharing panel space with other recognizable names from the House of Ideas' creative family, including Roy Thomas and John Romita Sr., as well as the aquatic adventurer Stingray. With appearances spread across Sub-Mariner and Spider-Man Comic under the Marvel UK banner, this small but charming corner of the catalog is a delightful treat for fans who love it when the creators themselves become part of the story.
