This was sent by F.O.A.M.er Anna Scherer, who says there were nine of these trading cards given away in boxes of Post cereal, but in Canada only--Aquaman here, plus Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Supergirl, and Batgirl.
I don't quite recognize this piece of artwork, but it seems highly unlikely DC commissioned new pieces for something like this. Anyone have an idea who did it?
I love it, thanks Anna!

I was thinking Alex Saviuk, perhaps?
Aquaman should necessarily be big in Canada. We've got three oceans!
I knew everything in Canada was supposed to be bilingual but I didn't know it extended to cereal box trading cards.
It looks like Saviuk to me too.

I can't say who it is art-wise, but I do like it.
I think it's actually the cover to a mini-comic giveaway from Canada, NOT a trading card. I believe I have a set of them somewhere in my Wonder Woman collection
Yeah, according to this auction, it's a mini-comic: http://cgi.ebay.com/1981-POST-CEREAL-CANADIAN-MINI-COMIC-PROMO-AQUAMAN-NM-/200544646684?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb164761c
I wish I knew more about these 9 comics myself.
