Schomburg Nazi WWII cover; Everett artThe Sub-Mariner not only bears the distinction of being Marvel's premiere superhero but was also the first character to battle Hitler's Axis forces on the cover of a comic book. Alex Schomburg's compelling Nazi-bashing illustration for this issue stands out as one of the finest examples of the wartime battle cover. Namor's creator, Bill Everett, said he came up with the character’s name after writing several "noble" words backward, Roman being one of them, hence the moniker Namor. The Sub-Mariner was featured in the very first issue that Timely Comics ever released, Marvel Comics #1, and went on to appear in many titles with his Golden Age compatriots, Human Torch, and Captain America.
