Prinz Namor

Prinz Namor is the German-language edition of Marvel's Sub-Mariner, the half-human, half-Atlantean prince Namor, published for European readers by BSV - Williams. As ruler of Atlantis, he possesses superhuman strength and the ability to breathe underwater and fly.

A Silver Age creation of the legendary Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Prinz Namor made his debut in Hit Comics #20 in 1967 under the German publisher BSV - Williams, placing this character firmly in the fascinating world of European Marvel reprints that brought Marvel's mythology to new audiences across the Atlantic. With appearances spread across Hit Comics, Marvel Origins, and Die Spinne, Prinz Namor shares pages with a remarkable cast — Lady Dorma, Lord Krang, the Puppet Master, Bruce Banner, and Das Ding — suggesting adventures of genuine scope and variety. One of those 14 catalog appearances carries key-issue status, making it a worthy target for collectors with an eye for the international side of Marvel history. For fans who love discovering how Marvel's Silver Age reached beyond American shores, this is a corner of comics history well worth exploring.
