Namor, the Sub-Mariner #50

A milestone fiftieth issue of Namor, the Sub-Mariner arrives in 1994 with one of the series' most provocative covers — Namor himself, bare-chested and commanding, locked in a passionate embrace with a golden-haired woman in the shallows of a waterfall lagoon, the cover text boldly promising "The Story You Won't Believe: The Courtship of Sue Richards!" Geof Isherwood's cover pencils and inks bring a lush, romantic intensity to the scene, framing Marvel's Sub-Mariner in a moment that's equal parts tender and scandalous. Glenn Herdling scripts the interior alongside Isherwood's art, making this oversized anniversary issue a genuinely compelling entry in the series.
