I do hope Namor's power is respected in the MCU. He's gone toe to toe with powerhouses. I was pleasantly surprised to see him flying with his ankle wings.
@@wheredyougetthat Yeah, same here! With more and more characters, power equivalences become more and more important. I'm also looking forward to seeing how they will slot in new high power characters (Namor, Thing, Dr Doom, etc) alongside established characters like Thor, Hulk, etc. Especially with She-Hulk being in the mix. Where do they all come down?
✋😎/✋🤓Namor fan since the Silver Age ; still have a few issues of Tales To Astonish , his 1968 series , Fantasy Masterpieces and Marvel Super Heroes both titles having reprinted GA and Atlas Age adventures. You're right there is a lot to choose from. The one issue from his 1968 run that only gets attention for the cover yet SHOULD be regarded as a "key" reappearance is #8 by John Buscema as you mentioned. In that issue Betty Dean , briefly but significantly , returns into Namor's life. Betty Dean (originally a brunette in the early years then later altered into a blonde) was Namor's equivalent to Lois Lane. From 1939 -1950s she was a constant companion in his adventures; especially during his beautiful1950s run when his creator Bill Everett resumed control of Namor's involvements. The significance of that Atlas period was the changes Bill made and what those changes almost resulted in. (1) Namor was less super powered except for his necessary aquatic abilities. (2) As you mentioned with #35 he became a surface dweller apparently living with Betty Dean (3) He operated as an investigator for sea based mysteries. This interpretation of Namor came to the attention of Hollywood producer Ivan Tors who worked for Ziv TV , a smaller broadcasting company. Tors was interested in doing a Namor TV series to compete with the then popular Superman program. This interest allowed for Namor's comic book to briefly continue into the post code era making his series a Silver Age publication. Had the TV series materialized the Marvel Universe we know today wouldn't be due to the fact that Stan Lee would have undoubtedly gone to Hollywood as a consultant in the same way Whitney Ellsworth did for the Superman program. To get an idea of what the Namor series might have been like , of course without the added comic book touches, check out episodes of Sea Hunt starring Lloyd Bridges which was a later reworking of the idea. Two books that I believe qualify as top contenders are the Flashback issue of The Thunderbolts title that presents a few pages featuring Namor during his amnesiac period fighting off a squad of Hydra agents. The other is the graphic novel Inner Demons : A Tale of The Marvels which gives a backstory to Namor's whereabouts during his amnesiac period as well as connecting it to his FF#4 return. In addition to that he also takes on The Enforcers before they fought Spider-Man.
Wow, thanks for the insight into some of Namor’s older keys! Definitely a lot of good info. Thanks for taking the time to share… looking forward to hearing more thoughts on other Top 10 lists, now and in the future.

Doom vs Namor is REALLY intriguing. Nice picks! 🤘
Thanks for watching! I am also very excited about this possibility... just feels like such an excellent matchup.

You mentioned buying from a reputable dealer. Have you done a video sharing trusted dealers? That would be cool. Thanks for sharing!

Good stuff
🙏🏼👊🏼
Great Video. As you say DON'T BUY THEM NOW! Wait six months for Black Panther movie to pass.......
💯💯💯
Marvel ruined the submariner in that woke movie. Not true to the source.
Do you have a favorite Namor comic storyline?
@@CarlosCollectsComics heck anything by big John Buscema with attuma or tiger shark would had been awesome...like "who strikes for Atlantis".
