Everett had a tremendous career... did some of the best early GA work, some of the best 1950s work, and some of the best 1960s work.  But when he went back to the Sub-Mariner in 1971-1972 (issues 50-55, 57, etc), ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  When I first saw that work, I couldn't believe it.  It's remarkable.  He clearly put a lot of time and energy into those pages, and was doing far and away the best work of his career.  Just look at the inking on those pages!  Check out the original art pages that the Everett family sold via HA a few years ago. The work he was doing at that time is among the best inking I've ever seen in comics.

I've been a fan since I bought Sub-mariner 50 off of a drugstore spinner rack ….. It was so different from the rest of the stuff out at the time..... GOD BLESS....

Hard to say no to this one for 10 bucks. Not only a great, moody Everett cover but as a bonus it has an Al Williamson story to boot.

The 57 cover inks are fantastic!

Not sure why we only hear about the Frazetta Famous Funnies covers...

Everett was amazing at Atlas in the 50s. Check the banners at the circus sideshow - wonder if this would be noted as a Sub-Mariner / Human Torch cameo?

In this week's Heritage auction, there's this . . .    It's not mine, but thought that people who frequent this thread might be interested.

That would deserve a Noble Piece Prize.

I was really happy when this one came back from CGC unrestored.  I bought it online raw 10 years ago and feel lucky to have a copy of it.  Is it the first Bill Everett cover?  Unfortunately he didn’t do any interior art for the issue.
