Aquaman

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Batman and Dr. Fate aren't enough, so Fate grabs a bunch of other heroes to help in the fight, including Aquaman, Plastic Man, Green Lantern, and more. Aquaman takes it all in stride, telling Batman to "Smash Equinox right in the blowhole!":

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) JMS: Yes, and Aquaman was right toward the top of the list, which is why he's there fairly early in the run. Some of the other, still-forthcoming team-ups I presented to DC included Atom and the Joker, Adam Strange and Lois Lane, Green Lantern/Dr. Fate, The Legion of Superheroes and the Doom P...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) As Aquaman and Cal tug Manta and his men to shore, Cal begins to choke. Aquaman dunks him underwater, proving what Aquaman suspected: the new gills Manta installed, once they start, can then only breathe water--Cal is now trapped to live underwater.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) I think presenting strong Aquaman stories, if there's an Aquaman in the DC Universe, because right now he's dead--although we know there will always be "an Aquaman" in the DC Universe. He's one of those characters. I don't think he's in the same tier as Green Lantern and Flash. In fact, I'd pro...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Aquaman, Mera, and Aqualad return to Atlantis to see the fighting right there on the streets of Atlantis. Aquaman orders everyone to stop fighting and to go back to their homes. As if that wasn't enough, a minor earthquake begins to hit!

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Hitting bookstores today is the second edition of Professor James Kakalios' book The Physics of Superheroes! I gave James a couple of ideas, but my #1 choice was an excellent sequence from Justice League of America #200 (aka The Greatest Comic Book Ever Made) where Aquaman drags one of th...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) These Golden Age Aquaman stories are way better than I ever would have expected, and I have to think part of the reason Aquaman lasted through the 1950s, even after almost every other comic book superhero disappeared, was because of Paul Norris giving the character such a solid start.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Comics Weekend "Come the Revolution" by Steve Skeates and Jim Aparo. Let's just start with the first page, since you really can't beat a shot of Aquaman and Mera by Jim Aparo: Meanwhile, Aquaman and Mera find Aqualad, fighting a giant monster!

By Bill Reed The cold open this week is about twelve seconds of the Music Meister warming up the orchestra, before the usual opening theme kicks in. Consider this the overture. From there, we're thrown into a high-stakes super-team-up. Aquaman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow drop in on the nefarious Bla...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Well, much to my surprise, not only did we collect enough shells for Arthur and Mera, we also got enough to buy the upcoming Ocean Master action figure, as well as an Aquaman t-shirt Ed had already ordered on Rob's behalf, and we had some money left! I suggested we tip Ed for all the help he had g...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Considering we talked about two Silver Age Aquaman stories drawn by Ramona Fradon for the last Comics Weekend, I'd say this book is about as far away from the tone of those stories as humanly possible, as this grim first page will attest:

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Finally, with More Fun Comics #100 (November 1944), a new logo would debut, one that would last over a decade and a half, following Aquaman from More Fun to his long run in Adventure Comics, and then to his first headlining run in Showcase:

Also important to “Blackest Night” are Aquaman and Hawkman, who DiDio described as mainstays of the DCU. Hawkman features prominently in the first issue, with Aquaman appearing in the second. The removal of Superman from the DCU – at least temporarily ...

 NY - Ryan Parrott, Ryan Parrott But if Entourage has taught us anything, Hollywood would be wise to give the lost son of Atlantis his moment in the sun. For a studio, financing a superhero movie is a lot like playing Texas Hold'em. Each potential property is a set of hole cards. ...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) I always loved Aquaman, too--Aquaman drawn by Nick Cardy--that and Aparo's version of Aquaman I thought were the Aquaman, so I always tried to pay attention to that. I always loved Joe Kubert's Hawkman--I wanted to go in and make these guys iconic again.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) SE: I had been doing Superman with Dan Jurgens for a short time when an editorial shake up essentially removed everyone from the Superman books. Dan was going to be taking over Aquaman after Erik Larsen's run and I believe he asked the new Editor, Tony Bedard, to bring me on to draw it.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Dan Jurgens has been working in comics for decades, as both a writer and artist, and has worked on almost every major DC hero at one time or another. After that I really became interested in the work done by Steve Skeates and Jim Aparo on the book.

By Brian Cronin Adventure Comics #266 has an interesting Aquaman story within its pages, written by Robert Bernstein and drawn by the great Ramona Fradon. In it, Aquaman meets Aquagirl (who would not exactly turn out to be a major character in the series). Aquaman prepares for everything.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Turns out the elders of Tritonis turned over the reigns of power to Orm--bad idea--in exchange for protection from Poseidonis. Since this was done officially, there's no legal way Aquaman or Superman can do anything to Ocean Master, so they walk out, as Orm laughs.

By noreply@blogger.com (rob!) As I mentioned last Saturday, I was thrilled to see that the Patron Saint of the Aquaman Shrine, Paul Kupperberg, was the author the three-part Aqualad solo story that ran in Adventure Comics #'s 453-455. Aquaman Shrine: How did you end up writing the Aqualad series?
