Big props to the people who made this thread, because this is easily one of the best Respekt Threads yet.
Secondly, Sue Storm is a much better person than me, because if I were her I totally would've left Reed's ass for Namor a long, long time ago. Namor is THE MAN and it drives me crazy that Moon Knight has an ongoing series and Namor doesn't. Dang.
Thanks 🙂...
...and tell me about it. Moon Knight is good character though, but how can so essential character like Namor not have his own series yet? I mean, he's unique. Really unique. Marvel's only premiere underwater character. I have yet not met a person that hates him. Most people (who read comics) seem to think him as really cool character. I mean, I even made some kind of gallup of this..

And 90% seemed to want to buy Namor series if one would appear.
Well, my hopes are up that Wolverine #45 will portray him good...but it doesn't look much like this would happen.
Anyway, here is a nice Namor/Aquaman tidbit I found from web:
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: Steve Skeates reworked an unused issue of Aquaman as an issue of another comic for ANOTHER company - TWICE!STATUS: True
Pretty remarkable, eh?
The last issue of Aquaman’s initial comic run wad #56, which was released in 1971, written by Steve Skeates. The issue ended on a cliffhanger - Aquaman had just caused the destruction of an evil satellite when armored guards burst into the control room he was using…and that was IT! No more Aquaman!
However, Steve Skeates was not done there.
I will let John Wells, filling in for Bob “The Answer Man” Rozakis in a column a few years back, fill you all in on the rest:
Skeates created a new aquatic hero for Warren Publishing later in 1971 and eventually recycled his plot for AQUAMAN #57 as “The Once Powerful Prince” in EERIE #40, wherein villains stole the mystic ring that gave Prince Targo his undersea powers. The first Prince Targo script appeared in EERIE #36 (”Prototype”) and the chronologically third was in EERIE #37 (”The Other Side of Atlantis”).
And in 1974, Skeates penned a direct sequel (complete with a shot of an unidentified Aquaman’s finger on the destruct button) that dealt with the consequences of the satellite crashing to Earth. The star of this particular story was Aquaman’s Marvel Comics counterpart, Prince Namor, and the episode appeared in SUB-MARINER #72, itself the final issue of the run!
Sometimes truth really IS stranger than fiction!
You know, you should post a lot of this stuff on scans_daily on live journal, DC. Though ther format would be a bit different and I wouldn't recommend huge posts. Just like a tibit of Namor awesomeness per day .
However, you'll find out it's sorta like preaching to the choir. Most of the active folks at scans_daily love him. You just have to watch out for the crazy Namor fan girls. 😄
