Everyone probably knows that this was published earlier this year, and will be followed sometime in the Spring by a second volume which will include the three Namora issues. But you never know, maybe there is an Everett lover reading who is unaware, so here are some previews.

Timely's Greatest: The Golden Age Sub-Mariner By Bill Everett

Stunning copies!

Well, phew. I had not kept track of how long it has been since I updated the thread navigation to Serendipity. Unbelievable that two years have gone by since I did. I hope readers will take the trouble to use the navigation, especially for the two years in question. More to come...
