Sub-Mariner #69

Namor stands defiant on a waterfront rooftop, fists raised and shouting "Never! While I live — I fight!!" as Spider-Man swoops in from above — and a squad of armed figures closes in from below, demanding he surrender. The cover by John Romita captures that classic Marvel tension of a cornered anti-hero refusing to back down, with a inset portrait of Namor in full regal bearing reinforcing just how dangerous it is to corner the Prince of Atlantis. Steve Gerber's "Two Worlds… and Dark Destiny!" with art by George Tuska promises a charged, action-packed issue straight from 1974 Marvel at its street-level best.
