Namor, the Sub-Mariner Annual #1

Part 3 of Marvel's 1991 "Subterranean Wars" crossover event, this 64-page annual delivers exceptional value with a striking cover by James Fry and Dana Moreshead that places a commanding, fists-clenched Namor front and center against an eerie underwater backdrop — with a masked, red-and-white-faced figure and an armored, helmet-domed combatant looming ominously behind him. Scattered skulls along the ocean floor hint at the dangers lurking in these subterranean depths. Inside, Scott Lobdell leads the creative team through an origin story for the Sub-Mariner alongside an all-new Invaders adventure, making this one of the more content-rich annuals Marvel put out that year.
