Russkie-Smashers SUB-MARINER (and Namora) "Unseen Invaders"

Let's celebrate the New Year enthusiastically with even MORE Russkie-Smashing...

...featuring Marvel's (retroactively) first mutant, Prince Namor and his cousin, Namora!
Written and illustrated by Subby's creator, Bill Everett, this tale from Atlas' Sub-Mariner V1N37 (1954) shows that, while Namor is as anti-Russkie as he was anti-Axis in World War II, Americans still don't trust him!
Marvel Multiverse note: the aliens resemble the Badoon, officially-introduced in Marvel's Silver Surfer #2 (1968)...who also used invisibility and flying saucers!
Bill Everett brought the Badoon into his final run on Subby in the 1970s...as allies of Namor's evil cousin Prince Byrrah!
Coincidence?
I think not!

Russkie-Smashers MEN'S ADVENTURES "Sub-Mariner (and Namora) in 'Killer Whales' "

Time, once again, to kick Commie butt...
...with the super-powered guy who hates all surface men...but especially Russkies!
And you wonder why he's an "anti-hero"?
Namor's creator, Bill Everett, wrote and illustrated this tale from Atlas' Men's Adventure #28 (1954) which shows Americans make mistakes, too!

Russkie-Smashers YOUNG MEN COMICS "Sub-Mariner (and Namora) in 'Pirates vs Pirates' "

 Even we make mistakes!
Last week's story wasn't Prince Namor's first Russkie-Smashing adventure!
This was!
When you look at the first couple of pages, it's easy to not realize this tale from Atlas' Young Men Comics #27 (1954), penciled and inked by Bill Everett (with a layout assist by Bob Powell), involves Russkies, so our inadvertent mistake is understandable.
Tomorrow:
Namora and the Mayans
