Namor, the Sub-Mariner #7

Namor surfs atop what appears to be a massive curved surface, fists raised defiantly, while an enormous rocky hand reaches up from the churning ocean depths — promising a confrontation with something called "The Unknowable Menace of Sluj." John Byrne, handling both the writing and art duties here, brings a real sense of scale and urgency to this October 1990 issue, pitting Marvel's Sub-Mariner against a threat that looks as massive as the sea itself. The story title "...That I Be Shunned by All..." hints at an isolating, atmospheric tale worthy of Atlantis's proudest prince.
