The First Appearance of Namor the Sub-Mariner in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly: Here Is the Sub-Mariner!

Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1
April, 1939

Motion Picture Funnies Weekly is a 36-page American comic book created in 1939, and designed to be a promotional giveaway in movie theaters. While the idea proved unsuccessful, and only a handful of sample copies of issue #1 were printed, the periodical is historically important for introducing the enduring Marvel Comics character Namor the Sub-Mariner, created by writer-artist Bill Everett.
