So... did Aquaman not have the ability to talk to fish and other sea creatures in the early days? When did he start? Because in his third appearance here, he fights a belligerent squid and kills a shark with a sharp sea shell! Or did the Golden Age Aquaman just not have this power? And if that's true, did stand-up comedians of the time not make lame jokes about him?
So to recap what we know of the GA Aquaman:
1. Yellow gloves/fins.
2. Doesn't talk to fish.
3. Has a recurring enemy called Black Jack (who will eventually port over to Earth-1 because he's in some of the Adventure Comics stories too). I kind of wish he'd gotten a Who's Who entry now. Aquaman villains didn't exactly get a lot of respect.
