Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1 - 1st Sub-Mariner

Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1

Motion Picture Funnies Weekly v1 #1, 1939 - Mostly filled with various cartoons and adventure strips, one-shot giveaway boasts the first appearance of the Sub-Mariner. In his own solo story, he encounters deep sea divers in a remote part of the ocean floor. After attacking them and destroying their ship, the young man reports to the king of an underwater kingdom. The Sub-Mariner is certainly more villain than hero in this debut. Written and drawn by Bill Everett, this story soon appears in Marvel Comics #1 with four additional pages. Intended for movie theater patrons, this issue is particularly rare with only a handful of copies in existence. Sub-Mariner would star in his own self-titled series two years later. /// key 1st appearance, 1st origin Sub-Mariner, 1st issue
