That front image of Aquaman by Jim Aparo is of course beautiful, dynamic, and heroic; if I ever had the need to send postcards this is the only one I'd use.
The second, featuring an Aquaman mini-series cover by Curt Swan, always seemed to me to be an odd choice since Swan was never a famous AquaArtist, plus the image itself is just confusing--the Sea King looks like he has a massive headache, and him being a giant, looming over Atlantis is bound to puzzle everyone save die-hard Aquaman fans.

Agreed on the second one. The first issue form the mini would have been a better choice as it is a much more dynamic cover.
Yeah, but that one would probably be a tad too avant guard for the general public. This of course doesn't change the fact that pretty much any Nick Cardy cover would have been a better choice.
