"...with fast moving scripts by Roy Thomas and sprawling art by a John Buscema (who was just entering his most dynamic period). The early issues of the Sub-Mariner Strip were some of the best kept secrets at Marvel!
(...)
In Sub-Mariner #6 (Oct. 1968) [..] the near insane Tiger Shark escapes from the laboratory and take Namor's girlfriend, the Lady Dorma, hostage. I seems that he's gotten the idea that on the basis of getting away from the Sub-Mariner, he's entitled to the crown of Atlantis (...). in the meantime, his curvaceous sister, Diana Arliss, dons a diving suit and in defiance of Dr. Dorcas ("I'm going after my brother ... and ... you'd better hope that I find him, before it's too late, or else you'll learn that a woman, too, can know the thirst for revenge!")..."
