If ever there was a collection worthy of the title "Marvel Masterworks," Bill Everett's seminal '70s return to the Sub-Mariner, the character he made a legend, is it! Beginning with Sub-Mariner #50, Everett began a run as writer/artist that rivaled the greatest work of his career. His luxuriant artwork and signature anarchic take on Sub-Mariner made every page an action-packed classic. Villains from Subby's past like Prince Byrrah set the stage, while the debut of Namorita and a new fi re-vs.-water nemesis, Sunfi re, ratchet up the drama.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Decide If He's Hero Or Villian
Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016
Verified Purchase
Great line work and classic story telling with one of Marvel's early and iconic characters but a lesser used one; he hasn't gone mainstream as of 2016 with his own movie tv show or cartoon yet- but he probably will considering how graphic art is being mined as deeply as possible by Hollywood for material. One thing that sets him apart is his angry attitude (and he has a lot to be angry about) Sometimes he saves people and sometimes he's just 'angry at all human kind' which adds a lot of interest to his character. He's stood the test of time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Final Bill Everett Run Collected in Masterworks!
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2016
Bill Everett created Marvel’s first hero in 1939. Namor’s first adventure for Marvel appeared in Marvel Comics #1.

his volume contains the fifth and last run by the series creator. He launched the title in the pre-war years, before being drafted into the Armed Forces in February of 1942. His inventory was used for several months after he entered training, publishing eight more stories through summer of 1942. Bill penciled, inked, and wrote all the stories in Marvel Mystery Comics, while also lettering many of them. He created imaginative logotypes for Sub-Mariner on the splash pages each issue. He also did further tales of Namor in The Human Torch Quarterly, Sub-Mariner Comics, and All-Winners totalling nearly 60 stories, including comic’s first crossover story with The Human Torch in Torch’s quarterly title.

After the war, he returned to pencil Namor again, now joined by Namora. This run resulted in 17 more stories about the two aquatic avengers until super-heroes had run their course at Marvel/Timely. A few years later, Bill revisited his character when Marvel/Atlas decided to give super-heroes another shot in late 1953, shortly after the Korean War armistice. In Young Men, Men’s Adventures, The Human Torch and, of course, Sub-Mariner, Bill penciled, inked and wrote nearly 50 new stories on Namor (and a few with Namora).

In the 60s, he returned to pencil and ink 8 more stories while inking three additional stories. Between the five runs, Everett drew nearly 130 stories of Namor. Many of these he also wrote. That’s in addition to the other heroes (Fin, Marvel Boy and Venus), as well as the hundreds of horror, sci-fi,  romance, westerns, and joke comics that he did.

Extras in this volume include a great introduction by Namor’s #1 superfan, Roy Thomas, the memoriam from Sub-Mariner #65, a beautiful pen-and-ink drawn & watercolored Namor by Bill Everett dedicated to his son, a sketch of an aged Namor that’s dedication to his son, a pin-up of Venus published in Marvel Spotlight #2 by Bill Everett, and four pages of Bill Everett original art plus the original art of cover #58 by Gil Kane and Bill Everett. Marvel also included Bill Everett’s four pages from #61 and the cover. The issue will be reproduced in its entirety in the next Sub-Mariner volume.

After an overly serious run in last Masterworks volume, this volume takes a more lighthearted approach, aided by the return of Bill Everett, Betty Dean and the introduction of his younger cousin, Namorita. Golden Age nemesis Byrrah returns as does the foe created by Roy Thomas, Llyra. Add in a flashback sequence of Namora, the Badoon, Crab creatures, Sunfire, the Dragon Lord, the Snow King, Venus, Ares, and Tamara for an action-packed run. The art changes when Bill Everett’s health starts to fail and other artists pitch in to help: full art by Alan Weiss on a backup story in #54, a great Dan Adkins fill-in on #56, Sam Kweskin with layouts on 58-60, and finished art by John Tartaglione on 59, Jim Mooney on #60.

Issue #56 by Mike Friedrich and Dan Atkins was a moody, socially relevant story with standout art. As much as I loved seeing Bill Everett return to his character, this issue is probably the highlight.

The Steve Gerber tales weren’t up to his usual effort. The Thor story was especially disappointing, though Namor held his own. Thor wasn’t drawn or written well. Tamara was an interesting character that didn’t get developed enough.
That said, this volume was well worth it. Marvel did a beautiful job restoring and printing all of Bill’s delicate brushwork. If only he could’ve been on board when the Marvel Age was launched. His work throughout the 50s was especially beautiful.

 I would love Marvel to straighten out the movie rights to Namor. He’s the original underwater monarch, debuting two years before Aquaman. Aquaman was always quite inferior to the very unique Avenging Son, first mutant in comics and first hero to fly.

Nearly as much as I’d like to see a movie, I’d like Marvel to relaunch a Sub-Mariner title and then publish a Vibranium edition of his greatest works. Imagine seeing Bill Everett’s various runs in the prestige format. Gene Colan, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Wally Wood, Jack Kirby, and John Byrne would be a bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bill Everett's final Sub-Mariner Saga
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016
Bill Everett created the Sub-Mariner in 1939. He had two fantastic runs on the book in the 40's and the 50's. Then in 1972 he came back to his creation for one glorious year just prior to his death. This Masterwork collects Sub-Mariner #50 to #60 all from 1972 and 1973. We get an excellent introduction from Bill's friend and former roommate Roy Thomas. Plus some nice exras including the first few pages for Sub-Mariner #61 barely started before Bill got too sick to continue. It also includes some Everett pin-ups and unreproduced art work plus copies of original art.

On a personnel note Bill Everett was the first Golden Age artist who's work I fell in love with. I found those 25¢ reprint magazines like Fantasy Masterpieces and those Sub-Mariner stories just looked miles ahead of any Golden Age art I had ever seen. And Bill's stories of Sub-Mariner's undersea kingdom just ignited my young imagination. So I was very excited when it was announced Bill Everett would be coming back to Sub-Mariner to write, pencil and ink the book. Unfortunately this was way more then Bill , with his failing health could handle but with lots of help he brought a real fun run to the book with lots of classic Everett fine line work.

Sub-Mariner #50 kicked things off right with Bill doing all three roles. Plus we get the creation of Namorita and the death of Namorita's Mom Namora. And Prince Byrrah returns back from the Golden Age. Sure the Crab Monsters are corny but this is great fun.

Sub-Mariner #51 featured the Brotherhood of the Badoon from Silver Surfer's magazine. Mike Friederich helped with the writing as he did for four issues of this run.

Sub-Mariner #52 through #54 featured a two part story cut into three parts when Everett got behind. It introduced a Japanese villain named Dragon Lord and guest starred the almost X-Men, Sunfire. Issue #54 also had a new story of young Namor tale done by Mike Friedrich and the talented Alan Weiss.

Bill Everett was back doing everything with Sub-Mariner #55 which was kind of a corny story with the Abominable Snow King. Bill puts in these strange touches which I find endearing like Namorita gives Namor a Magical earing so she can contact him anytime , just like Jimmy Olson's wristwatch.

Sub-Mariner #56 was a fill in written and illustrated by Dan Atkins. Atkins who was a former assistant to Wally Wood has a similar style to his mentor's and this a very nice story. Unfortunately it is very dark in tone and very different from Everett's light and wonky stories.

Sub-Mariner #57 is my hands down favorite of the collection. All beautiful Everett art and a meeting with Everett's other major creation Venus.

Everett does build off of the Atkins story giving us a female alien who was stowed away on the alien ship in Sub-Mariner #58. Tamara has become a semi-regular character in the Marvel Universe. Steve Gerber helps with this and the rest of the volume's writing chores. Likewise Golden Age artist Sam Kweskin becomes layout artist for the duration of the volume. It worked good for this story, but unfortunately Everett would be unable to even in ink the next two stories.

When Tamara is abducted by the surface dwellers in Sub-Mariner #59 Thor decides to side with surface men. A battle between Thor and Sub-Mariner ensues. When Sub-Mariner still can't get Tamara back in Sub-Mariner #60 he invades New York. The breakdowns by Kweskin are inked by John Targtalione in #59 and Jim Mooney in #60.

In a prefect world Bill Everett would have regained his health and maintained his sobriety and given us many more years of great artwork and fun stories but he sadly died in 1973. Still he did give us this run collected in this beautiful Hard Cover.

My Highest Recommendation.
