I've been reading the Silver Age chronologically from around 1963 on, with some occasional dips into earlier stuff. So far I'm about half-way through 1963. I'm mostly posting shots of individual panels with some commentary.

(Daredevil #7 - 1965)

This is and will always be a Sub-Mariner stan account
Sub-Mariner pin-up from Fantastic Four V1961 #33 (1961) Sub-Mariner forgiving Lady Dorma for betrayal - "I, above all others, am aware of the strange things one may do -- in the name of love!" Fantastic Four V1961 #33 (1961) Sub-Mariner bathing in the rain - "Rain to soothe the wounded soul...To cleanse the air I now must breathe!" Not 100% what issue this is. Sub-Mariner defying Magneto - "I am the Sub-Mariner! I ally myself with NO ONE who speaks to a female as you do!!" The X-Men V1963 #6 (1964)
