MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE SUB-MARINER VOL. 7 HC

Written by BILL EVERETT with MIKE FRIEDRICH, STEVE GERBER & DAN ADKINS Penciled by BILL EVERETT with DAN ADKINS, ALAN WEISS & SAM KWESKIN Cover by BILL EVERETT

If ever there was a collection worthy of the title “Marvel Masterworks,” Bill Everett's seminal '70s return to the Sub-Mariner, the character he made a legend, is it! Beginning with Sub-Mariner #50, Everett began a run as writer/artist that rivaled the greatest work of his career. His luxuriant artwork and signature anarchic take on Sub-Mariner made every page an action-packed classic. Villains from Subby's past like Prince Byrrah set the stage, while the debut of Namorita and a new fire-vs.-water nemesis, Sunfire, ratchet up the drama. The return of another Everett icon, Venus, pits Sub-Mariner against Ares -- while the capture of Subby's alien ally Tamara leads to an all-out Atlantean invasion of New York City! Painstakingly restored and collected here for the very first time, this is a must-have Masterworks for every Marvel fan! Collecting SUB-MARINER (1968) #50-60.
