It was kind of a shame that they weren't doing much with him by the time I was more into Marvel as a young adult. When I heard they killed him off, it was just another in a long lines of what I felt were bizarre and bad moves they were making.

Yeah, Pravus, I grew up watching those 'toons in syndication in the very early 80's. WPIX 11 aired them here in the NYC tri-state when I was in elementary school and Namor functioned as one of the 'gateway' heroes for my budding interest in Marvel.

Based on this convo and a previous one we had about Captain Marvel/Shazam, it's good to know that there are other people that enjoy 'digging in crates' in order to flesh out their understanding and appreciation for comic characters. Sometimes, I feel like writers and editors at Marvel don't even do that...and that's their job...smh.
