We've seen Aquaman riding his seahorse before, in the comics and the cartoons, but Garcia-Lopez makes this look as cool as possible, I think by drastically enlarging the size of the sea-horse in relation to Aquaman. Normally, the proportions is about the same as a human is to a horse, which of course is the idea. But I think by making the sea-horse look huge, like some prehistoric deep-sea creature, it gives it a more other-worldly feel, and you forget all about the idea of trying to put a saddle on what looks like a giant shrimp.
I've seen this piece on t-shirts mostly, but it did make an appearance on a collector's plate from the late 80s, even though it had been modified a bit.

If anyone reading this is going, you'll of course (*cough*) recognize me from my appearance in Entertainment Weekly. And if that isn't enough, I'll be the guy handing out these:

If Aquaman can telepathically talk to every sea creature out there why does he need the reins on the sea horse?
