DescriptionIt's Dr. Strange Weekend, and this page is from Fantastic Four #27, which has Sub-Mariner and Dr. Strange. This page doesn't have Dr. Strange, but it has one of my two favorite Marvel Characters in The Sub-Mariner.The funny thing here, this is a page that I was the underbidder on this 3 years ago, and Albert Moy won it, and picked it up in January from Albert, and want to thank him for working with me on it. Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, kidnaps Sue Storm (the Invisible Girl) in an attempt to woo her. That results in this bombastic battle page pitting the Crown Prince of Atlantis against Mr. Fantastic and the Thing! It's a battle Royal that makes you want to yell Imperious Rex! "Benjamin, why don't you take up a hobby? Something that will keep you out of here while I'm working?" Mister Fantastic Featured Characters: Fantastic Four 🢐 Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) 🢒 🢐 Invisible Girl (Susan Storm) 🢒 🢐 Human Torch (Johnny Storm) 🢒 🢐 Thing (Ben Grimm) 🢒 Supporting Characters: 🢐 Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange) 🢒 Antagonists: 🢐 Namor the Sub-Mariner 🢒 Atlantean Army Other Characters: Dr Doom (Victor von Doom) (Illusion or holographic simulation) Dormammu (Invoked) Vishanti (Invoked) Hosts of Hoggoth (Invoked) More info and Synopsis for "The Search for Sub-Mariner!" Sue is surprised when she sees Reed using a device that projects his thoughts and sees that he is thinking of her. When trying it on Ben afterward, the Thing conjures up images of Doctor Doom, frightening him. When Reed asks Sue to try it on she declines, not wanting to have her thoughts revealed. When Ben starts asking Reed why he hasn't asked Sue to marry him, Reed tells both Ben and Johnny that he plans on doing just that. Meanwhile, in his abandoned kingdom, the Sub-Mariner broods over his desire to have Sue Storm as his bride. When he orders the last of his followers to assist him in capturing her, they decline and abandon him as well. Deciding to deal with things himself, Namor disguises himself and travels to the surface world. At the Baxter Building, he incapacitates both the Thing and the Human Torch before revealing himself to Sue. Namor demands that Sue return with him into the sea and become his queen, but when she refuses to comply, he gasses her and takes her prisoner. When Reed returns from his shopping trip with an engagement ring, he is shocked to hear from Ben and Johnny that she had been kidnapped by the Sub-Mariner yet again. Suddenly becoming furious, Reed goes after Namor alone, fighting off Ben and Johnny when they try to calm him down. Without Reed to guide them, both Ben and Johnny are unable to track down Namor. They reach out to the mystic known as Doctor Strange. Seeing Johnny's flaming message in the sky, Strange sends his ectoplasmic form to meet them at the Baxter Building. Doctor Strange agrees to help, and his form ventures out to find Namor's kingdom. Finding it, he confirms that Sue is safe before returning to tell Ben and Johnny her location. Meanwhile, Reed finds Namor's domain and attacks the Sub-Mariner. As Reed gains the upper hand, Namor's troops return to their king. Back at the Baxter Building, Doctor Strange teleports Johnny and Ben to help Reed in battling the Atlantean soldiers. As Reed struggles with Namor, Ben holds off the soldiers while the Torch frees his sister. When the Atlanteans try to flood the chamber, the two siblings work together to stop the room from filling with water. Namor regroups with his soldiers and gets a powerful cannon, however when they fire on Ben and Reed, they discover the weapon apparently has no effect. It turns out that they were being protected by Sue's force field. She tells Namor that she does not love him and that she truly loves Reed. Observing from afar, Doctor Strange sees this as an opportune moment to step in and teleport the Fantastic Four aboard Reed's submarine. While Namor is disorientated, the quartet makes a hasty retreat. Despite Sue's claims that she loves only Reed, he is convinced that she only said so in order to protect him from Namor, leaving him in doubt about proposing to her. Social/Sharing |

A wonderful page by the 'Master'. Evocative inks set this action page well in the silver age. Congratulations.

Pretty neat large Kirby who brings the larger than life imagination to build these scenes that hit with heavy emotions and motivation behind each bit of action!

I mean, the first panel alone featuring that great Thing vs Namor face-off while Reed lies there all battered, is worth the price of admission all by itself. Then you add in all the other great Namor panels and Namor vs Reed panels, and your riches have truly become an embarrassment!

Epic! Great battle page between Namor and Ben Grimm and Reed Richards. But I do wonder if Namor wasn't right--Why shouldn't Sue Storm decide for herself?
