Description

Sub-Mariner #69 cover from 1974. Spider-Man vs Sub-Mariner battle cover & issue. A perfect John Romita cover depicting two of Marvel's most famous Superheroes. You can tell Romita put a lot of time into the detail of this cover. This action-packed cover easily could have been a cover for the Amazing Spider-Man title, but as fate would have it the art was slated for the Sub-Mariner title. Easily one of the best Romita covers IMO!

This cover is stunning! Definitely could have been used as an Amazing Spider-Man cover, but I like that it was used for a Subby title. Such a perfect image of Namor. Definitelty one of the best Romita covers I have ever seen.

Agree that this could have easily been an ASM cover. Thanks for sharing.

One of the most memorable covers of the run - the Romita art and the 'Team up' with everyone's favorite wall crawler!

I'm probably one of the few people who actually liked Subby's black costume. To have Spidey on the same cover just puts this one over the top for me. One of my very favorite covers from Subby's short run. Truly amazing!

Superb and dynamic cover with equal billing for both characters! A beauty. I may be in the minority but I always liked that blue costume (life saving suit designed by Reed Richards :) ).
