Namor, the Sub-Mariner #44

Marvel's Prince of the Deep surges forward on this 1993 issue, Namor bursting through a cresting wave with battle-worn determination — blood streaking his chest, golden bracers gleaming, one massive fist thrust straight at the reader. Geof Isherwood's cover captures the Sub-Mariner at his most raw and elemental, all coiled power and ocean fury. The cover itself teases a new era with a story title that cheekily nods to Coleridge, promising something a little wilder and more ambitious than your average undersea adventure.
