Black Manta Skybox Trading Card - 1995

F.O.A.M. member Doug Zawisza sent me this way cool Skybox trading card, featuring a nifty painting of Black Manta by artist Alexander Gregory.

I'd never seen this card before. Never having been a big trading card collector, I guess this whole set just passed under my radar.

There was another Aqua-related card in the set, which Doug also sent, which we'll see tomorrow. Thanks Doug!

I have a set of DC Villains: The Dark Judgment trading cards, but it never occurred to me you didn't. I assume Ocean Master is next, but actually, there are other Aquaman related characters in the set. Deadline, Dr. Polaris, and Lobo had all fought Aquaman around that time, in the hook hand days. There was also a pin-up book the following year that also tied into Underworld Unleashed simply titled Rogues Gallery. Many of the same artists and characters resurfaced in that painted book, though no one Aquatic...

Wow this one's really cool.

Manta looks very creepy, very menacing in that one shot.

That helmet has GOT to be heavy.
