Publisher's Synopsis

Marvel Comics' first ever comic book featured a daring new anti-hero, named the Sub-Mariner and created by legendary artist Bill Everett. 70 years on and Everett's watery creation continues to be one of the pinnacles of the Marvel Universe. Fire & Water is the definitive guide to, and biography of, the man and his career - and how his personality informed his signature character before his untimely passing in 1973 at the age of 55. The main focus, however, is the stunning display of artwork - from the superhero genre to horror, romance, crime and suspense.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
