This ad, another one for a bunch of school supplies emblazoned with DC characters, doesn't feature much Aquaman on it, but what it does feature represents a significant moment in my career(?) as an Aquaman Collector.
I had the Aquaman Pencil Case when I was a kid, and it was the first item that I ever used eBay for, since I wanted to find it again. I quickly did, which which was the first step on the long crazy road that's led me here!
I can picture some industrious kid trying to sell his parents on getting him a Bat-Copter--"But Mom, it's for school! It's a school supply!"

I found the ruler and still have it, but I NEVER found the pencil case. (sigh)
My parents never bought me school supplies with comic book characters on them. Not even Archie. The note books were plain one colors. I do suddenly remember having a Batman 3 ring binder but I think my cousin gave me that when he didn't want it anymore.
I was too young for these, but I remember this from backissues.
I went through those AHI Batcopters though. Man, those were the coolest rack toys EVER. Like almost all things AHI made in the 70s, they had a corresponding Spidey toy like it.

You know, if DC made an Aquaman notebook, I would totally use that in class....I wonder what my professors would make of it....
I had the Batman version of the pencil sharpener shown on this page. Happy memories!
I had the Aquaman spiral notebook (which shows Aquaman riding Storm against a green background)and wanted the companion folder/portfolio, but was never able to find it.
