Eh...it's ok I guess.....hehehe. Seriously, this is the GEM of your collection imo! Congrats Mark!

Posted on 3/3/2007

AMAZING!!!! To say the very least, a great cover by one of the best to work on comics. Enjoy.

Posted on 7/17/2007

Awesome, Mark! A perfect Everett example!

Posted on 8/14/2007

Absolutely gorgeous. That's a family heirloom.

Posted on 9/7/2007

Amazing. Unlike most artists, Everett's work never declined as he got older. This is a true grail.

Posted on 11/25/2007

Good lord, one of the best covers of my youth...WOW

Posted on 1/27/2008

One of my favorite 70's Everett Sub-Mariner covers--fantastic!

Posted on 2/4/2008

Tremendous cover! What a treasure...

Posted on 6/3/2008

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us Everett fans!

Posted on 6/27/2008

A Grail indeed!

1 - Posted on 6/29/2008

A battle scene, a true three dimensional water feel, thousands of tiny water bubbles, bondage venus and Bill Everett makes for an astouding once in a lifetime combination. Tremendous congratulations!

Posted on 7/6/2008

Tremendous!!!!!

I can't imagine discovering a nicer Everett example than this one ... it combines the extraordinary artwork side of things... the lush and amazing rendering ... with the elements that we desire as comics fans (major characters, scarcity, action, it's a published cover from a great period, etc). It's not always that both of these come together in a perfect storm like that. This cover is one of the iconic pieces on CAF that really show off what our nutty hobby is all about! Imperious Rex!

Posted on 7/29/2008

Mark, this is a beautiful cover. Thank you for sharing with us all.

Posted on 9/4/2008

Mark, this is incredible!!!!!! Congratulations on owning such a beauty!!!

Posted on 4/4/2009

This is what collecting is all about - it's just plain magnificent!

Posted on 5/25/2009

True, pure, 100% deep sea beauty! Wish I had such a piece!!!

Posted on 6/9/2009

A truly stunning piece of comic book history ! Congrats !

Posted on 6/10/2009

a amazing cover by a fantastic artist...a holy grail...

Posted on 11/25/2009

Oh my God. I guess this is off the market for a while?

Posted on 3/17/2011

One of the best pieces on CAF, IMHO. An awe-inspiring piece of graphic storytelling history.

1 - Posted on 4/13/2011

Congrads! I love Bill Everett's beautiful graceful artwork! I remember loving his 70's Sub-Mariner series. as well as all his inking especailly on Kirby's Thor & Hulk. When he passed it was a sad day in the Marvel Bullpen. We lost one of the greats way too soon!

Posted on 5/25/2011

Hard to believe I only just discovered this piece on CAF - amazing cover beautifully composed.

1 - Posted on 1/2/2012

Putting aside the breathtaking composition, Everett's beautiful drawing style, and the excellent spotting of blacks, I don't know what strikes me more, the espression on Venus face, or the luciousnees of her body, and her body pose/language.

Posted on 1/12/2012

I have no words to comment such a piece of ART!

Posted on 4/21/2012

Stunning cover! WOW!!!!

Posted on 4/28/2012

Thanks again for sharing this beautiful gem with the rest of us! WOW! Stunning!

Posted on 6/13/2012

I always click on this great cover when I peruse your gallery. It's simply fantastic!!!!

Posted on 7/1/2012

Great cover and a nice addition to your gallery ! congrats !

1 - Posted on 8/2/2012

Love this cover. The Sub-Mariner was at his best under Everett. I remember how much I loved finding his art in an issue. His undersea scenes were the best. Thanks for sharing it.

Posted on 10/20/2012

Yep. Baller.

Posted on 11/2/2012

This is the 1st time I've seen this cover and its a home run!

1 - Posted on 11/21/2012

I see the word "grail" used an awful lot and most of the time I think it's an overstatement. Here I think it would be woefully inadequate. This is as good as it gets.

Posted on 3/19/2013

So Sweet!!! Just fantastic!!!

Posted on 5/10/2013

beautiful!!

Posted on 1/29/2014

Amazing cover, congratulations

Posted on 2/8/2014

Yeah...using "grail" is not cliche' hyperbole in this case. This is historical AND beautiful.

Posted on 2/11/2014

oh man that is absolutely AMAZING!!! love it!!

Posted on 9/17/2014

Awesome Piece!!! It almost/sorta/kinda looks like Gil Kane mighta done a Thumbnail for this.

1 - Posted on 1/1/2015

WOW!!! I just picked up a high-grade copy of this issue and considered myself lucky to have it. Owning the original art for the cover? A true Grail indeed! Congrats!

Posted on 1/3/2015

Wow! Perfect example of Everett classic Mariner uber-detail! Fantastic!!

Posted on 6/3/2015

I guess this doesn't really need another comment saying how great this is, but I'll do it anyway......its GREAT!

1 - Posted on 7/21/2015

Grail is the right word to use Mark. My quest still continues, but seeing that you have this cover gives me some hope. Can't get much better than this, period!

Posted on 8/1/2015

bravo !!! this is a great grail !!!

Posted on 5/13/2016

G to the R to the A-I-L!! One of my favorite Everett covers, doesn't get much better than this, congrats!

Posted on 12/8/2016

Everett at his very best. Everett is one of the few artists that actually got better as he entered his Golden years!

Posted on 12/31/2017

I love this cover.. definitely a keeper. Congrats!

Posted on 8/12/2018

UNBELIEVEABLY COOL!!!

Posted on 2/27/2019

Incredible work!

Posted on 7/7/2019

Greatest.

Posted on 8/21/2019

Probably the best Namor cover I've ever seen.  Just beautiful.  Total grail, congrats !!!

1 - Posted on 11/16/2019

With only 72 issues in this classic Silver Age run, yours is one of the best! Having just picked up a cover of my own from this great series, I know how few and far between the good ones come along!

Posted on 1/3/2020

Sheeeeesh, what a beautiful cover!!

Posted on 1/13/2020

Holy Holy Grail!  This is AWESOME!  Congrats man!

Posted on 1/26/2020

Everett over Everett is great.  And love the swirling currents!

Posted on 5/21/2020

Grail is completely appropriate. Just wow 

Posted on 5/24/2020

Agreed. Couldn't ask for a better Everett cover!!! Definitely a grail piece.

Congrats.

1 - Posted on 8/15/2020

This is an amazing cover! All the reasons you mentioned and has a cool golden age vibe as well. I can't imagine a better Subby cover, just perfection. The signature is wonderful, as well.

Posted on 8/19/2020

Easily one of the very finest Everett examples ever!  Congrats on owning such a fantastic GEM!!!

Posted on 11/24/2020

Boy talk about a dramatic cover. Great action beautifully rendered. Congrats.

Posted on 1/1/2021

Every time I come to your gallery I click on this cover. Perfect example

Posted on 3/20/2021

Truly beautiful! 

Posted on 4/18/2021

WOW!  Everything you could want!

Posted on 10/6/2021

Wow this is spectacular! Such a distinct look to subby! 

1 - Posted on 12/30/2021

Why I waited to comment so long on this cover I cannot say, but I marvel (no pun intended) at how, artistically, it straddles the line stylistically between Everett's Golden Age sensibilities and Marvel's Bronze Age dynamism.

Posted on 3/17/2022

Awesome cover ! Congrats !

Posted on 5/7/2022

One of my all-time favorite covers! Congrats!

Posted on 5/29/2022

To own any artwork by a master like Everett is a gift - to own a cover this impressive is just beyond.

Posted on 11/15/2022

A phenomenal work of art. Congratulations!

Posted on 11/15/2022

One of my grails, too! This one checks so many boxes. Fantastic in every way.

Posted on 11/15/2022

Spectacular. A true grail piece. Congratulations. 

1 - Posted on 11/16/2022

Have always been an Everett fan.   I loved his figure work.   This is a well composed cover,  the figures grab you then all of the details come into perspective, the sharks,  and then the even smaller things.   The sea/ water effect is amazing from the swirls to the seawater crackle.   This was a labor of love.   Fantastic. 

Posted on 1/24/2023

Fabulous Cover

1 - Posted on 3/5/2023

Phenomal piece, absolutely stunning and truly one of the best if not the best Everett work ever. The two characters I have always associated with Bill's work. My kids are too old to trade for this - lol

Posted on 5/21/2023

Because 80 comments are better than 79! Fabulous cover.  Congrats on having it this long!!

Posted on 2/3/2024

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Posted on 11/22/2024

Wow, that is one stunning Wild Bill Sub-Mariner cover, just top to bottom everything you could ask for, outside its historical awesomeness, big congrats!

Posted on 11/23/2024

Such an outstanding cover! And what work of art could be more deserving the title "grail" than this one?

Posted on 12/31/2024

Amazing work on this. Bill Everett had it till the end!

Posted on 5/27/2025

Stunning Namor cover! So good!

1 - Posted on 7/29/2025

Even for the best in the business, sometimes all the elements come together in a special way.  This is one of those times.  An Everett Grail for sure.  Venus is so beautiful.
