Transition Period for the hero formerly known as Prince By Dan Pace (feral atom) Collects Sub-mariner 39-49 and Daredevil 77.I really struggled with giving the right grade to this collection. There are so many interesting concepts explored in the issues here, but none really seem to be developed fully. Through the Masterworks program, Namor has become one of my favorite Marvel characters. I've collected each appearance in these collections, including the Atlas Era material (I'm also a huge fan of Namora and hope the Golden Age material rekindles to include a collection featuring her adventures in the post-war years done by Bill Everett).Issue 39 begins with Namor grieving over his loss, renouncing his throne, abandoning his home, and trying to re-establish a connection with humanity. Andru and Mooney produce some great art and Roy Thomas is pulling out all the stops on his final story on the title.Daredevil 77 and Issue 40 cross-over tales guest-star Spidey and introduce the telepathic Black Sea People, Princess Tuvia, Lord Turalla and the mysterious Tuval. The tie-in to the Atlanteans and their persecution was a good angle. Gene Colan did powerful moody art, especially on Daredevil. (there is a goof here where Mary Jane comes to Peter's apartment, but has blonde hair, as if she's Gwen, but Peter calls her Mary Jane and she's wearing a beret).Gerry does some poignant writing intertwining the plotlines between the two heroes as they reminisce about Gwen and Karen Page. Turalla was almost a cool villain, but the ending was very dissatisfying. Also, how was Spiderman allowed to fight alongside Namor?I'd love to see a modern storyline on the Black Sea People and explore their society and power more in depth. (For that matter, I'd love to see a relaunch of Sub-mariner, Namora, and Namorita.)Issues 41-42 include Aunt Serr, Rock, Lucille, the tortured once-men, and the ominous Final Sons of Man. Good artwork by George Tuska. We also get Senator Winters with Nevell and Diane Arliss attempting to make Namor an environmental symbol. Some intriguing concepts, but, to me, the story falls a bit short.The oversized issue 43 has Gene Colan back on art with the exiled Tuval from the Black Sea People mind-blasting Namor and controlling the populace of a small community. I detect a recurring theme here: Namor gets his brain blasted again. I don't understand if Gerry Conway wanted Namor to suffer amnesia, why he wouldn't have used Tuval, Turalla, or The Final Sons of Man as the occasion to do so.Marie Severin and Jim Mooney are the artists for issue 44-45, guest-starring Human Torch in probably the quickest of their many confrontations. The rest of the tale has Johnny Storm as an afterthought as Llyra and Tiger Shark team up to face Namor. The tale is concluded in 46 with another personal tragedy at the hands of Llyra. Stingray guest-stars and Gene Colan is back handling the pencils.Issue 47-49 have Doctor Doom teaming up with Namor to face Modok in his search for the Cosmic Cube. Gene Colan draws some of the most menacing and creepy images of Doom to ever grace a comic page in these issues. Some of Gerry's writing here is excellent. Parts of Doom's dialog seem oddly out of character though. It appears that Cindy Jones is an attempted love interest in these issues. She has a few moments, but also a couple of strange scenes. Brother Johnny has to be one of the weirder characters ever developed. Luckily he only appears for two pages.I've never been a fan of Modok, speaking of weird characters, but I felt that he was done pretty well in this trilogy; probably as well as the character has been done. Colan draws his more monstrous than he's usually depicted.All in all, this was an intriguing collection with more great Sub-mariner artwork and some awesome covers by (Gil Kane?) and a gorgeous bonus cover by Bill Everett. What a nice segue into the next collection when Bill Everett does some of his finest work for the Marvel Age.

Subby takes a dip By Stephen Vincent Kempton As I have been reading all the Masterworks I have found that Sub-Mariner run to be the most consistently excellent of all the Marvel Silver Age Masterworks. Well this volume takes a little dip in quality as teen aged Gerry Conway takes over for Roy Thomas .This volume collects Sub-Mariner 39 to 49 with Daredevil 77 as an added bonus. These books all originally published in 1971 and 1972 have been loving restored so they look perfect.The first story from Sub-Mariner 39 is Roy Thomas's swan song as he departs the book. As the story opens Lady Dorma has been killed and Namor has returned to New York and the abandoned Prison Island as his new "Fortress of Solitude". In this story he demonstrates a new super power, the ability to punch stone walls and sculpt aquatic statutes. Why he won't prefer a palace under water is not explained. Besides that question this is a tight little story that sets up Namor's quest for his father and a whirlwind tour of the USA and other dimensions. The art for this issue is by Ross Andru and Jim Mooney and is very solid.Next we get Daredevil 77 . While this does features the best art in the book, Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, it does not really need to be included. It was just recently printed in a Daredevil Masterworks. Sub-Mariner does not show up till the story is half through. Not a bad story but I skimmed it since I just read it. The coloring error from original is carried over for the third time as Mary Jane Watson becomes a blonde.The second part of this story in Sub-Mariner 40 is not as successful. At the end DD 77 Namor and Spiderman where brought to another dimension so that they can fight a lame bad guy named Turalla. This story is way over written and kind of confusing. SpiderMan just kind of hangs around and has no purpose in the story. Nice art by Colan but Sam Grainger is not a good fit inking.OK let me make a few things clear before I rip on Gerry Conway a little. First he was just breaking into comics with only a dozen or so scripts written. Second he was a mere teen aged boy just learning his craft. Third he learned very quickly and became one of my favorites. I found his first five issues to be problematic, but the last five issues in this collection are quite enjoyable.Now on to Sub-Mariner 41 and 42 this two parter was either inspired by the TV show Dark Shadows or the writings of HP Lovecraft or both. The story starts off clear enough with Namor being knocked out the sky by some nameless force. But then we meet one lame monster after another and by the second issue things have become so muddled I don't what is going on. Just as try to stop my head from spinning up pops up two robotic characters who work for Mr. Kline. They fight for two pages then disappear forever. Mr. Conway just loads every page with word balloons but it serves no purpose. It is like Gerry is just trying to impress the readers with his large vocabulary and has given up on this train wreck up a plot. The art for both of these issues is not helped by George Tuska who delivers some lackluster pencils.The Sub-Mariner world tour continues as Namor goes to Boston and we meet another lame-o from another the people of the Black Sea. This one is named Tuval instead of Turalla . Sub-Mariner 43 is the issue in which Marvel for one month tried to emulate DC's attempt to go double size for a quarter. It would be interesting to find out how much notice the creators got but this one seems very padded. Much better scripting by Gerry even if I did like the basic plot. Very nice art from Gene Colan and Mike Esposito helps.Sub-Mariner 44 and 45 is a two parter that was created to be a single issue but then cut in half when Marvel quickly went back to 32 page comics. I believe Golden Age reprint stories appeared as back ups but are not included in this collection. This story I enjoyed and brings back the classic pairing of Namor and The Human Torch. Conway cranks up the soap opera elements of his writing which would become a his trademark. Marie Severin does the art for both parts.Gene Colan returns in Sub-Mariner 46 as Namor finally gets to meet and then lose his Dad. A good story but I wish Gerry had kept Captain McKenzie around longer. Also Namor gets Amnesia once again.This Masterworks volume closes on a high note as we get Conway's best yarn a three parter all illustrated by Colan in Sub-Mariner 47, 48 and 49. Still in tour mode we start in Chicago for the first issue before we head to New Orleans for the final two parts. We meet Cindy Jones who looks to be a love interest for Namor. She would leave the book in issue 50 right after Conway departed. The plot involves Doctor Doom, Modok and the Cosmic Cube.All together this is mixed bag with a good first story , then some dip in the quality of the writing . Finally it finishes quite strong.The next volume brings back Sub-Mariner creator Bill Everett for a nice run as writer or co-writer and penciler.

Wells Collecting: Sub-Mariner #39-49--Daredevil #77Bonus: 6 Pages of Original ArtNamor, the Sub-Mariner, is one of Marvel's earliest characters (and the first mutant!). Namor has been an Avenger and in the X-Men and has played significant roles in recent major marvel events. There is no better way to collect some backstory on this important but often overlooked character than in the Marvel Masterworks line. Like the previous volume (see: Marvel Masterworks: The Sub-Mariner Volume 5 ), this volume reprints Namor's Silver Age adventures in a full color, high quality hardcover. The comics collected here were originally printed in 1971-2 and they have never looked better. The thick paper of the Masterworks preserves and presents these comics better than they can be found in the over 40-year-old magazines.In this collection readers are treated to Atlantean politics and meet the Black Sea People. Namor fights the Human Torch and teams up with Spider-Man; the final issues collected here reprint an arc that creates an uneasy alliance with Dr Doom in order foil MODOK. All-in-all these stories are classic Marvel superhero fare.I would recommend this volume to any fans of Sub-Mariner as well as to readers of the X-Men and the New Avengers who are interested in learning more history about this character.
