Steve Gerber

Prepare yourself for one of the most epic eras in the history of Namor, the Sub-Mariner, written and drawn by his creator, Bill Everett! We are proud to present Bill Everett''s seminal ''70s return to Namor, the Sub-Mariner, the character that he made a legend! Everett''s luxuriant artwork and signature anarchic take on Namor make 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 flame-vs.-water nemesis, Sunfire, ratchet up the drama. The return of another Everett icon, Venus, pits the Sub-Mariner against the god Ares, while the capture of Subby''s alien ally, Tamara, leads to an all-out Atlantean invasion of New York City! Then, a nerve gas explosion leaves Namor unable to defend his realm. Reed Richards crafts a new costume to help him fight again, and nothing will be able to contain the rage of the now savage Sub-Mariner! Collecting: Sub-Mariner (1968) #50-72 and Marvel Spotlight (1971) #27

Visionary creator Steve Gerber takes the Defenders on one of the most creative and beloved superteam eras of all time! Marvel has never had a bigger team of misfits than the Defenders and the Defenders have never had a more exciting and innovative writer than Steve Gerber. Known as a ''non-team'' book, The Defenders'' left room for experimentation that other titles lacked. From the Elf-with-a-Gun to Bambi and the Bozos, Steve Gerber used that space to push boundaries and craft a challenging critique of the era''s culture. His stories are brought to life by the art team of Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson as the Headmen Saga reaches an action-packed and insightful conclusion. This collection of classics is topped it off with Marvel Treasury Edition #12''s much-adored Defenders/Howard the Duck team-up. Collecting: The Defenders (1972) #26-41, Giant-Size (1974) #5 & Annual (1976) #1 and Marvel Treasury Edition (1974) #12
