Marvel Spotlight #27 page 31 - Sub-Mariner

He absolutely killed this page. The pencils, inks, all those wonderful artistic tricks. I love how he inked the corpse, using the dark inks to really make him seem motionless and floating in place. And all those great little details to make this splash really pop, and push Namor to the foreground. Great artistry here. Big congrats!

Wow! What a great looking splash page! Love it!

Great page and there was never any hero outfit more needed and useful than the Romita Sr. designed black "men's bikini" (which sure didn't save his 1st Marvel solo series) and really was revamped nearly 2 decades after your fine page :)

Mooney sends Namor off with grand style!  A visual appeal to fans to keep Namor in print somewhere, somehow!  The splash is powerful and does its job to leave you wishing for more of this quality of Namor stories.

Fanastic Namor image!!

Great 3D composition - a lot of effort, this wasn't done for the page rate!

Superb

Moooooooooney!  Love all the sub-aqueous details!

Disco-Subby unleashed! Great page by Mooney...WOW!

IMPERIUS REX. Beautiful splash of his highness

Stunning splash!!!

Black costume Subby rocks!

Magnificent splash congrats!!! 

Amazing page!  Wonderful inks

Even great pencils require good inking for maximum impact, and Mooney's inking is as good as it gets. Terrific splash. Congrats.

Phenomenal background detail, and I love that script!

Mooney was an underappreciated genius!  I had a great time meeting him at SDCC 97.  I enjoyed it so very much.

A marvel of a page! Congrats!

Jim was not well known for his pencils talent. This page is tremendous. A real treasure for the eyes by one of the pillars of the house of idea who proved here he was among the best. Spectacular !

THIS IS BY FAR THE VERY BEST SUB-MARINER SPLASH (PARDON THE PUN) I HAVE EVER SEEN! CREEPY GUY FLOATING AND ALL!!!!

Fantastic splash namor - love it !!!

Mooney!  Mooney!  Mooney!  And the crowd goes wild!!!!

Mooney takes Buscema to the wall with this baby.  As much as I LOVE Buscema's Mariner work, this is my new #1 with a bullet Silver-Age Subby splash.

Thanks Steven. It is a special composition, and Mooney was on fire in the '70s.

Quite right, sir!  Bronze-Age splash.  Where is my mind?

Either way, it rocks!

WOW, Mooney absolutely poured it all on the page for this Avenging Son closing splash, big congrats!!

While I would hesitate to call Mooney under rated, he was definitely overshadowed by some of the bigger names at Marvel.  But this incredible splash just goes to show what a powerhouse illustrator he was.  Always had a soft spot for Subby's black costume.  From the page caption, it looks like this was published sometime after the cancellation of his own title, with Marvel still urging fans to demand his return.  Alas, even a cool, flashy, new costume couldn't save him.  But you know what they say, you can't keep a good fishman down.  Anyway, congrats on a truly spectacular splash.

Nice Splash. Subby here, feels a bit like Colossus.  Probably the best design and head shape.

Does it get any more cinematic than this?

Narrator's voice:  No, it does not!

Ha ha! It does have that sort of feel, doesn't it? Namor victorious. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Steve.

Namor looks awesome here!  One hell of a page!!!

Stunning!

Museum piece,congrats 

Ahhh yes, Subbie's most stylish look.  Killer splash.

One of the very earliest comics I ever bought- which is where Paul first saw this page- and still one of Jm Mooney's best jobs.
