Namor, the Sub-Mariner #57

Namor hurtles toward the reader fists-first on this December 1994 cover, his expression fierce and determined as debris scatters around him — the tagline "On the Run… From Everyone!" making clear that Marvel's first and mightiest mutant is seriously outnumbered. Geof Isherwood's cover art captures the Sub-Mariner in full, unstoppable momentum, gold wristbands gleaming against a burst of action lines. As the finale of "The Son of Namor" arc wraps up, this issue promises the kind of cornered-but-defiant energy that makes Namor such a compelling figure.
