Cloonan tackles Namor in 'Strange Tales'
Writer and artist Becky Cloonan has teased what to expect from Strange Tales #3 when she takes on the King of Atlantis.

Cloonan, who describes Namor as "the hottest guy in the Marvel Universe", revealed that her short story features the Fantastic Four’s Reed Richards.

She told Marvel.com: "I wouldn't want to spoil anything! But I do have a surprise twist ending, if you will, and a cameo by the Invisible Woman, who is also totally hot.

"So it should be a good time. With a four-page story I didn't want to tackle anything too serious, but I didn't want to just do slapstick with a punchline either.

"I tried to go for something in between that I hope readers will enjoy."

Eisner Award-nominated Cloonan is best known for comics such as Demo, which she writes with Brian Wood, and her rock-and-roll web comic KGB, with collaborator Hwan Choand.

Strange Tales #3 is out November 4.
