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).

‘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."

- 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.\
