Namor made his first appearance in a giveaway title, <em>Motion Picture Funnies Weekly<\/em> in 1939. This title was never distributed to the public, and a few months later he had his &#8220;real&#8221; first appearance and origin in the pages of <em>Marvel Comics<\/em> #1 (May\/June, 1939). The character continued as one of Timely&#8217;s big three characters in the pages of <em>Marvel Mystery Comics<\/em>, <em>Human Torch Comics<\/em>, <em>Sub-Mariner Comics<\/em> and <em>All-Winners Comics<\/em> as a member of the All-Winners Squad. Subby&#8217;s Golden Age run was interrupted in 1949, and Atlas attempted a revival of Namor and other Marvel heroes in the pages of <em>Young Men Comics<\/em> in 1953. This was followed by attempts at reviving the character in <em>Men&#8217;s Adventures Comics<\/em>, <em>Human Torch Comics<\/em>, <em>Captain America Comics<\/em> and his own title, <em>Sub-Mariner Comics<\/em>. This attempt to revive the character met with limited success, and he was retired again until he came back in the Silver Age of Comics in the pages of <em>Fantastic Four<\/em> #4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/subby1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"207\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2059\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/subby1.jpg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/subby1.jpg 150w, http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/subby1-109x150.jpg 109w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this episode we also have a special appearance from Bruce Rosenberger of <a href=\"http:\/\/komicskast.libsyn.com\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #555555;\">KomicsKast<\/span><\/strong><\/a> who talks about the Wonder Woman newspaper strips.
