I still wonder why Namora ...Great comments, guys. <br /><br />I still wonder why Namora wasn't used more.<br /><br />Gumba, I agree that Warren never met a piece of art he wouldn't re-use, but I think he ran a budget operation. Someone once commented that his magazines were basically used to sell his Captain Company merchandise. I sent for several things from Captain Company, including back issues and remaindered Harvey 3-D comics, when I started buying Famous Monsters circa 1959-60. <br /><br />I don't know if it was that I had outgrown them, or was tired of seeing stuff recycled, but at some point I quit buying Warren magazines. I wish I hadn't, but it seemed a reasonable decision at the time.<br /><br />100Aliases, at least going into an Abbott and Costello movie you knew it was supposed to be a comedy. It's been years since I saw Mummy's Hand, but I remember there wasn't enough monster in it to satisfy me. The comedy was OK, but my impression was it seemed like padding.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-13962353619511904672012-02-22T13:43:35.195-08:002012-02-22T13:43:35.195-08:00Great art by Jones/Orlando in that first one (seem...Great art by Jones/Orlando in that first one (seems more Orlando in places). Last panel, page 38, I think Warren re-drew later as a cover, in either Eerie or Creepy. I might be mistaken without checking my issues, but I'm sure I saw it again.<br /><br />There was never a piece of art James Warren didn't think about re-using! :)<br /><br />Is it just me or can those Everett Namora stories be easily substituted for Everett Venus stories?Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-78804911155399934482012-02-22T11:14:37.069-08:002012-02-22T11:14:37.069-08:00One thing you can never accuse Everett of is borin...One thing you can never accuse Everett of is boring monster designs or boring lead characters. Considering how Namora behaved in some of the 50's Sub-Mariner, I wouldn't put it past her to have married the villain!<br /><br /> >needs more mummy and less comedy<br /><br /> I actually enjoy it more than the actual Abbott & Costello mummy movie. It's probably my favorite mummy film along with Hammer's "Mummy's Shroud".100Aliaseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493166549015264137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-32471266405891454382012-02-22T09:49:01.945-08:002012-02-22T09:49:01.945-08:00Everett artwork from those years was just too awes...Everett artwork from those years was just too awesome for mere words, and this lovely Namora strip is tops with me.
