This is the brand-new sketch Mr. G did for me from his home in Florida, and of course it's awesome!
I generally prefer to get sketches from the artist in person, but since Dick rarely makes it to any con in my general area, we corresponded via email. Just a few weeks after commissioning him, this baby arrived on my doorstep.
This is the Aquaman I'm so used to seeing, all over DC merch of the 70s and 80s--dynamic, exciting, and happy. As I told him, I'm thrilled that I get to add Giordano to my list of sketches, alongside such other legends like Cardy, Fradon, Infantino, and Aparo.
Tomorrow: a word or two from the man himself!
Oh, that's really good! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. That's the Aquaman we need back!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is Aquaman.

An excellent sketch.
ReplyDeleteVERY nice, Rob. I especially like the way Mr. Giordano renders the scales on Arthur's shirt. - Andy Luckett
ReplyDeleteDang, that Dick can draw!

Very attractive. I especially like the shoulders. Looks oddly more like Tony DeZuniga than Dick. Similar pose to the Shrine's banner-- intentional?
