Description
Late 1930's-early 1940s images of New York City, especially river scenes, always appealed to me in old black and white movies. Something else that always appealed to me was Marvel Comics centering their hero universe in my city. When I saw an early days Sub-mariner panel on the internet, with Namor, my favorite Marvel hero, in an NYC river and an old skyline behind him, and it had strange, surreal colors that could have only been used in the Golden Age, I asked Brendon and Brian for a 9x12 recreation. Not sure if Bill Everett was the original artist.

In the atomic age, it wasn't so far fetched that people could believe in superheroes as the technology's mutation side effects were still unknown!  This brings that wonder and fear as the Sub-Mariner seems like he would come end the surface world for threatening the entire planet with a doomsday device.

Namor was the embodiment of common fears in the WW2 era.  A powerful outsider bent on revenge, from a strange civilization whose warriors could silently sneak up out of the depths and surround an island city like New York before the populace knew what hit them.  Luckily, Namor joined the Allies, not the Axis.
