Description

WHAAAMMM!!! You can almost feel the impact as Sub-Mariner gets smacked by a wrecking ball swung by the evil Brutivac. "Do you STILL think you can beat me, Sub-Mariner?" He shouts "DO YOU?" Notice the protest group down below carrying signs reading: "Make Friends not Smog," "No More Pollution!" and "Parks Yes--Factory No!" I always loved the way Marvel managed to sneak the social issues of the day into their stories. Impactful cover by Sal Buscema and Mike Esposito.

If a wrecking ball can't stop Hannah Montana then no way will it stop Namor.

Another bronze age classic! What hope does Atlantis' superhuman Avenging Son have against the unstoppable power of... a sinister real estate developer?!? A story that could be ripped from today's headlines!

While Brutivac wasn't exactly the most memorable of Namor's foes, this cover is truly superb! That wrecking ball is coming right out of the page.

Wow! A cover with Brutivac, what a treat! Well, the fact that there is an outstanding image of the Submariner in a perilous position upfront cannot hurt either, can it?

I've never been much of a Subby (or Sal) fan, but this image composition is vintage dynamite! Such a creative layout

Namer's really a fish out of water here! Excellent early Sal.
