A while back, I ran a subscription flyer for a company that was producing a series of DC Superhero patches, one of them being of Aquaman.
Since you had to subscribe to the whole series, I passed up the offer, not wanting to spend all that money just to get one measly Aquaman patch.
Luckily for the rest of us, some members of F.O.A.M. were a little more patch-centric--Vince Bartilucci sent me these two giant scans (click to see readable versions), showing the entire package he received with the Aquaman patch.
Looking over this stuff, I have to say I'm impressed how much they put into it--the graphic design, the use of stock art, the "fun facts"--make for a nice presentation, to say nothing of the patch itself (drawn by Eduardo Baretto). All in all, pretty well done.
Thanks Vince!

Ooh, that IS cool!
However, is *this* his current origin? Why, oh why, does his father's name have to be Arthur? It used to be Tom; who changed it and why??
I want to know who copy edited the origin. Kordax is Aquaman's "ancestor", not his "descendent".
Wait, what?! You're not sporting an Aquaman patch on every piece of clothing you own Rob?
Russell-
I agree. The classic origin is, well, CLASSIC. You don't need to mess with it!
CH-
I was thinking of asking Tracy (who knows how to sew) of adding patches to my clothes, but I thought it might make things weird between us, since that's more of a Mom thing.
Wil-
Good catch. I hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
Russell,
I'm with you. If there's one thing I disliked even more than Aquaman's harpoon-handed, "mid-life" crisis look, it was the changes made to his origin story.
Viva Tom Curry!
