Namor #2

Beneath shimmering underwater rays of light, Namor — bare-chested and adorned with golden armlets — drifts in an intimate embrace with a young woman in a red dress, the two of them suspended together in the deep blue. Salvador Larroca's cover art captures a strikingly tender moment for the Sub-Mariner, balancing romance and otherworldly grace in equal measure. With Andi Watson and Bill Jemas crafting the story inside, this 2003 Marvel series clearly has no shortage of ambition in reimagining Atlantis's prince.
