Namor #5
"Submariner et le Pirate" is a standout issue in Namor's 1979 run, featuring a rare collaborative effort from Steve Gerber, Jim Starlin, and Len Wein, with art by Jim Starlin, Dan Adkins, Don Newton, and Jim Mooney, and colors by Glynis Wein. The story kicks off with Namor caught in a cosmic game between the Grandmaster and the Prime Mover, where Earth’s fate hangs in the balance and the Defenders are pawns in a high-stakes battle. Bill Everett’s striking cover, rendered in his signature style, captures the clash of titans with the Sub-Mariner at the center.
