The Sub-Mariner 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Sub-Mariner is the mid-1960s American animated short series adapted from the Marvel Comics character Namor, the half-Atlantean prince who rules the underwater kingdom of Atlantis and frequently surfaces to defend his people against threats both above and below the waves. The series aired on NBC across 1966 and 1967 as part of the broader Marvel Super Heroes anthology block, with a tightly written 11-episode run.

The format is short-form superhero comedy: each episode pairs a fresh threat to Atlantis or to the surface world with Namor's signature blend of regal pride and barely-contained anger, holding the show's commitment to honoring the comics' particular tone as the engine. The animation has the unmistakable mid-1960s look of its era, with limited motion put to expressive use, and the source-derived plotlines pull from the comic's classic adventures involving Krang, Attuma, and other underwater rivals. The voice work commits to Namor's signature blend of dignity and combat readiness.

For mid-1960s NBC programming, this was a piece of the broader Marvel Super Heroes anthology, sitting in the lineage of early-Marvel animated adaptation that introduced the publisher's roster to television viewers for the first time. Suited for longtime Marvel fans, viewers with affection for early-superhero animation, and anyone curious about the lineage of Sub-Mariner storytelling that has carried across decades of comics and screen media.

This single-disc collection brings 11 episodes of The Sub-Mariner into one place, the complete short-format Atlantean run in one set, ready for a long evening on the couch with one of Marvel's oldest characters. For longtime Sub-Mariner fans and any new viewer who wants to discover this early animated take, owning the set on disc means revisiting Namor's underwater kingdom whenever the mood strikes, on a quiet evening with classic Marvel storytelling.
