This is our third pass at what I have come to call The Ballad of the Yellow Glove, where poor Aquaman was bedeviled by either an indifferent colorist or sloppy printing, leaving the Sea King to not look his best--something that rarely, if ever--seemed to happen to his more famous co-horts, like Superman or Batman.
After each installment, I keep thinking I won't possibly find any more. But, of course...:
(Adventure Comics #462)
(Adventure Comics #463)
(Super Friends #2--blue gloves this time!)
(Super Friends #11--two different color gloves!)
Even in DC House Ads, Aquaman was not immune to the occasional coloring goof-up, like in these subscription ads:
...wow, this one's all over the map.
(More Fun Comics #76)
This ends our third take (in recording parlance) of The Ballad of Yellow Glove, we hope you sang along.
I'm sure this is the last installment of The Ballad of the Yellow Glove. There's just no way there's more examples out there, right? Right!

I bet we can find more! I hate this as much as I hate batman artists (have seen it in flash onece too) Who leave his neck (adams apple area) showing fleshtone under his chin as opposed to the proper cape and cowl color. (I told you about how I hate Scooby Doo meets batman jsut for that reason) loL!
Probably tons more.
Yeah, that Batman bit kills me. I was watching an old BTAS episode "Batgirl Returns" last night, and Batgirl has a fleshy neck for an instant.
You should add all the Super Friends moments where Aquaman speaks another character's lines. It happens quite often!

Late comment: In that pic from the Super Friends childrens book, does Aquaman have fins under his arms? Like Sub-Mariner's black costume?
