I was worried for a minute or two, but Aquaman didn't let me down, coming through for the whale at the end there.<br /><br />"How manage me?" should have become Aquaman's "Great Scott!" or "Holy moly!"<br /><br />Yeah, that cover's like a weird dream; and I have to beg to differ: while impressive, catching a flaming meteor doesn't at all demonstrate a mastery of the subject of astronomy. Though he should have received an A+ for "Gymnasium."Joseph Brian Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-15826726630665801782011-07-31T03:52:33.415-04:002011-07-31T03:52:33.415-04:00"You'll rot in the bilges before I take i..."You'll rot in the bilges before I take it!" ahahaha. Writing as usual :)<br /><br />Aquaman also showed up in today's Monty! Nothing super hilarious, though I do enjoy that he's wearing a mask for some reason. http://www.gocomics.com/monty/2011/07/31/Andrew Hsiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155214824764016981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-41693459952841760052011-07-31T02:39:35.061-04:002011-07-31T02:39:35.061-04:00Viva Adventure Sunday!
I wonder if Mohab was Blac...Viva Adventure Sunday!<br /><br />I wonder if Mohab was Black Jack's manic-depressive cousin. Probably just embarrassed him at family reunions. They seem to share a similarly insane amount of single-minded determination.<br /><br />Very interesting to see how Otto Binder's style affected the Sea King's adventures.<br /><br />James ChattertonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-58474043100492021942011-07-31T01:24:30.804-04:002011-07-31T01:24:30.804-04:00That art job is really something!

Though wonder if the stories had mellowed out from this by the mid-50s anyway...<br /><br />(Also: another giant, white-colored animal indirectly leads to some villain's death? Wonder if the giant Galapagos Island rabbit needs a roommate on Earth-C... :-p )<br /><br />Re: the cover: According to comics.org, the cover's supposedly taken from the Superboy story's splash page, which might explain the cover not a literal version of what's going on in the story. (The story: a truant officer, facing a transfer, insists that Superboy attend classes.) On an odder note, it looks like Superboy's catching a Red Kryptonite meteor there (yeah, I know it's not---kryptonite of any type period won't be introduced to Superman's comics until 1949, a year after this story...)!Anthonyhttp://www.anthonynotes.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
