Saga of the Sub-Mariner #6

The sixth chapter of Marvel's twelve-issue limited series finds Namor the Sub-Mariner in a tense, dramatic moment — his compact, winged-ankle figure faces down an enormous, looming visage that dominates the cover like a shadow over his fate. Rich Buckler and Bob McLeod's cover art gives the composition real weight, with that imposing face rendered in cold teal tones contrasting sharply against Namor's warm, determined form. Subtitled "Dark Destiny," this 1989 installment from Roy Thomas, Dann Thomas, and artist Rich Buckler promises a turning point in the Prince of Atlantis's storied chronicle.
