One of my absolute gems in my personal collection is a one of a kind
1/3 scale custom sculpture done by an amazing artist in Australia ;
Brad Gunn.
He's extremely talented he did a Phoenix force Namor for me. The armour and trident are metal this thing has so much character and life honestly nothing in my personal stash comes close.

Another piece that's very dear to me. My very first statue I ever purchased. It was $ 15.00 Canadian because the trident was broke in half. For years I kept saying I wanted proper metal trident made and finally I got a Namor done in one of a kind way.
A marvel milestones Namor ( custom gold plated trident and crown done by Juan De Guzman of the Phillipines ) it's so cool!

Here's a couple more pics :
Another very rare set in my collection is the Golden Age run of Submariner Comics published by now defunct Atlas Comics. There was a short lived super hero revival in 1954-55 where they attempted to reintroduce heros like Captain America, The Human Torch ( original) and Submariner. It was a huge fail and both Captain America and The Torch only got 3 issues each were cancelled , Subby did manage to squeeze out 10. Atlas went bankrupt shortly after it wasn't until 1961 that super hero returned under new flagship called Marvel Comics.
Amazingly Marvel wanted to forget these Atlas books and never mentions them in updated origins of characters pasts. It's like they pretend it never happened. Some cool stories in this group of books long gone are days of Submariner fighting the Nazis now the new enemy theme was Communism. Oh how times change. A notable issue was the last pre comic code book in # 38 where they discuss the origin of Namors mutation the ankle wings. It's really cool.
Timely comics finished in 1949 with issue #32 ( very scarce issue ) five years later Atlas picked up where they left off with issues # 33-42. It took me almost 7 years to find these it's some of best Bill Everet art he did on his creation Namor the Submariner. Enjoy!
