Pencils, inks & colour: Mike Mignola (1983)

(Marvel Fanfare # 16, pin-up)

The Sub-mariner story is a wonderful tale of whimsy created by the ever-popular Bill Mantlo and relative new-guy, Mike Mignola! This may be Mike's very first pencilling job in comics and how he got it is a rather interesting story.

See, originally, Mike wanted to work exclusively as an inker and when he showed me his inking samples I said: "As an inker, you make a great penciller". In such a manner, a star is born.
