A Sense of Doubt blog post #3396 - Silver Sable - Marvel Comics - Mural - Keflavik Airport, Iceland




A Sense of Doubt blog post #3396 - Silver Sable - Marvel Comics - Mural - Keflavik Airport, Iceland

I am not feeling well since my return from Iceland and England (London).

So just this today.

There's a Silver Sable mural at the Keflavik airport in Iceland?

Many would say, who?

Even some pretty knowledgeable comic fans may not know this character.

My pic above is not all that great, and I could not get a clear shot with all the people streaming by. This was the best one.

But I found more at ATLAS OBSCURA shared below.

Thanks for tuning in.

Wish me a speedy recovery.

‘Silver Sabler’

Keflavík Airport

Keflavík, Iceland


A relatively obscure antihero from the Marvel Comics universe adorns a wall inside Iceland's main airport.

IF YOU EVER FLY TO Keflavík Airport, you are bound to receive a welcome from a fictional character you would never even think of seeing in Iceland: Silvija Sablinova, a.k.a. Silver Sable, a relatively obscure antihero from the Marvel Comics universe.

Having debuted in a 1985 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man,  is an international mercenary fighting crime without a superpower. Typically depicted as an ally (and sometimes as an enemy) of our friendly neighborhood webhead, she often gets a role in Spider-Man cartoons but is yet to make her first appearance in live action films.

Silver Sable may be a curious choice to dedicate a whole mural to at the country’s main airport, and it’s not even that the character is popular in Iceland. The artwork itself, however, was created by Icelandic artist Erró, who is known for comic book-inspired pop art collages. Sable seems to be one of his favorite motifs, as she appears in at least a couple of his other pieces.

The mural depicts the saga of Silver Sable’s action-packed crimebusting in a style similar to that of Marvel comic books in the 1990s, the era of Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld. Although no familiar faces are to be found, comic book fans may spot the first Silver Sable, father of Silvija, as well as the members of the Wild Pack, the mercenary team of her own.

Know Before You Go

Though the name of the character is Silver Sable, the official title of the artwork is "Silver Sabler."

- Days ago = 3260 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.\
