Marvel's Greatest Comics #82
In "The Strength of the Sub-Mariner," Marvel's 1979 classic, Prince Namor of Atlantis makes a shocking choice—saving the life of his archenemy, Magneto—only to face a dangerous alliance of old grudges and new threats. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, this issue sees Namor caught between his duty to Atlantis and the growing storm of conflict with the Fantastic Four, as the undersea kingdom prepares to march on New York. The cover by John Romita and John Verpoorten captures the tension perfectly, a 35-cent comic that’s still a must-read for any fan of classic Marvel.
