Tonight's fight (sponsored by Bahlactus, the Devourer of Blogs) is a homage to Aquaman co-creator Paul Norris, the man who first drew the trademark orange chainmail shirt and who died this week. Thank you Mr. Norris and so from this landlubber to you, a swimmer in Mother Ocean, some hardcore Aquaman action by Kupperberg, Patton and Tanghal who, like me, owe you a debt of gratitude.
Aquaman don't care if you've got a seniors discount at Pets Unlimited.
Shut up Zatanna! Like Aquaman didn't push that pillar on him.
Proof:
Aquaman's reaction.
And that, my friends, is what I call a very underhanded SUCKER PUNCH!
Aquaman: Hardcore before the beard, you better believe it.

He looked better with the yellow gloves.
ReplyDeleteWhen was this?
ReplyDeleteyellow gloves--40s up to around Adventure #260 or so.
ReplyDeleteanyway, nice pick. Aquaman is bad-ass, he just doesnt go around talking about it all the time like Bats does.
When Mutt said this, I immediately went to your Paul Norris homage and those pages had Aquaman's gloves as green, so I was all, like, confoozled! Recolored Archive?
ReplyDeleteyep, theyve been recolored for certain reprints. Aquaman's gloves are even yellow in Brave the Bold #28--they flopped back and forth for a while, finally settling on green, and this is where DC historians separate the E-1 Aquaman from the E-2 one.
ReplyDelete...wow, knee-deep in the big geeky right now.
Don't worry about it Rob, I DREAM in geek.
ReplyDeleteJust this morning, I dreamt that wherever my dream was taking place, there were three little girls dressed in Aquaman costumes. I was wearing an Aquaman shirt. I looked for their mother to ask permission to take a picture of the triplets to send to the Aquaman Shrine, but couldn't find her. And then the girls were gone.
I wish I was making it up. I really do.
For the record Siskoid, if that dream was subset in reality, the mom might of seen you dragging her kids around with a camera and gotten them far away from you when your back was turned.
