Namor, the Sub-Mariner #51

Namor, the Sub-Mariner #51 takes the Prince of Atlantis deep into the Louisiana swamps with the tantalizing promise of "Blowout in the Bayou!" The cover, penciled by Aaron Lopresti and inked by Tim Tuohy, frames a striking close-up of Namor's steely gaze set against an elaborate ceremonial mask — its bold geometric designs and vivid pink-and-green detailing suggesting a voodoo or Mardi Gras influence straight from the bayou setting. With a story titled "Let Them Eat King Cake" and interiors by Lopresti and inker Ernie Chan, this 1994 issue trades Namor's usual ocean depths for something altogether more mysterious and earthbound.
