While Namor may be on this art, it’s not from uber-Namor fan/client Jeff, but, in fact, from Damon, his 38th piece for me. It’s my first Michael Ryan. The other character in the image is Admiral Noble who appeared in Marvel’s INVADERS series. He was previously known as the Golden-age Fin from Timely Comics whom Damon incidentally had me ink on an earlier gallery entry with M.C. Wyaman. I inked this one with brush, markers and black line zip. This 11X14 art was finished on 8/15/2005. In the meantime, I hear that Jeff is waiting in the (ankle) wings with more Namor art for me….
