This house ad for Aquaman's first solo feature (in Showcase #s 30-33) was sent to me by Robby Reed (of the late, great Dial "B" For Blog). Thanks Robby!
Visually, its a pretty dull ad, so I think we can safely assume it was not done by DC's in-house design genius Ira Schnapp--I think the tip-off is the use of typesetting, as opposed to Ira's exquisitely hand-lettered text.
This ad is serving a double purpose, in that tomorrow for Comics Weekend we'll be talking about this very issue, Showcase #30! Be here!

Rob, The way you keep expanding the Shrine is really amazing. I like the graphical links on the right side (email, facebook, Actions figures, etc.) This is a world class blog.
Keep it coming.
PS. I miss Robby Reed. If you here of any new projects he starts, please let us know.
Richard-
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad people seem to like the new graphics. I thought it would be more visually compelling to have little graphics as opposed to just text.
Plus, I think it helps give people new to the character (if any of those people ever come here) a sense of just how much Aquaman is part of the culture, seeing all the different versions of him on display.
