Sub-Mariner Comics #17

This Fall 1945 issue of Sub-Mariner Comics puts Namor front and center in a gripping wartime naval battle, rendered with characteristic energy by cover artist Alex Schomburg. The muscular Sub-Mariner mans a deck-mounted gun aboard a vessel under siege, while enemy sailors are scattered and overwhelmed across the churning water — all as a Red Cross hospital ship looms in the background, making the stakes of the conflict unmistakably clear. A small inset circle also spotlights the Angel, signaling that this issue carries more than one hero ready for action.
