F.O.A.M. member Vincent Bartilucci sent me this detail from a 1994 New York Times crossword, featuring a very unusual clue!
I wonder how many people, kicking back with the Times crossword on a sleepy Sunday morning, knew the answer to #38 off the top of their heads. The answer would've probably have been very instructive in determining just how prevalent in the wider culture Aquaman was in 1994.
Thanks Vince!

Huh - Very interesting indeed!
Wow.
The puzzle that you mention was published on Saturday, 4/2/94. Aquaman was used again on 2/9/98 (Saturday) and clued "Founding member of the Justice League" And again on Sunday, 9/9/09 and clued Superhero with an octopus named Topo.
