Ibbar

Surfacing from the depths of Marvel's Bronze Age, Ibbar made their debut in Sub-Mariner #67 in 1973, brought to life by the imaginative pairing of writer Steve Gerber and artist Don Heck. Though their footprint in the catalog is small — just three appearances — one of those counts as a collector-recognized key issue, making Ibbar a name worth flagging for any serious Bronze Age hunter. Sharing those underwater pages with Namor himself, alongside the likes of Triton, Kabal, and Ariel, Ibbar inhabits one of Marvel's most distinctive corners of the early '70s — a brief but genuinely intriguing presence from a era when Sub-Mariner's world was at its most adventurous.
