Sub-Mariner #34

This 1954 Atlas Comics entry puts Namor front and center as the "Deep-Sea Avenger," diving headlong into a cluster of Soviet sailors — their vessel's hammer-and-sickle emblem unmistakable — while a woman in a red swimsuit clings to an arctic ice cliff in the background. Carl Burgos's cover work captures the era's Cold War tension beautifully, with Namor's fearless aerial attack and the chaos of scrambling enemies making for a genuinely gripping scene. Bill Everett brings his signature storytelling energy to the interior, cementing this as a solid slice of early-'50s Namor adventure.
