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.

Marvel proudly presents Timely's Greatest, a series of once-in-a-lifetime volumes presenting the greatest stories of the Golden Age, when Marvel was known as Timely Comics! After his service in World War II, Bill Everett returned to the Sub-Mariner without missing a beat. In fact, Everett's art and storytelling was better than ever. Never before reprinted, his postwar Sub-Mariner and Namora tales are anarchic, energetic and utterly endearing! This volume also features Everett's fan-favorite 1950s Sub-Mariner revival during Marvel's Atlas Era. Alongside Namora, Princess Fen and intrepid love interest Betty Dean, Namor faces off against the nefarious Prince Byrrah, his own doppelgänger, giant crocodiles and Communists aplenty! These stories define the Sub-Mariner in a way never captured in any comic series before or since!
