Binder's back in form ...Viva Adventure Sunday!<br /><br />Binder's back in form here. The whole bit about diving four miles down and encountering the rainbow-saurus was nicely done. <br /><br />I wonder what the rest of John Celardo's career was like? Thanks to him, Aquaman's art was better than the majority of his DC contemporaries of the time. Makes me kind of wonder if it was a factor in Aquaman's post-golden age survival.<br /><br />Oh, that Black Jack. What 'cha gonna do?<br /> <br />James ChattertonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-86993006745180644872011-11-06T04:11:45.901-05:002011-11-06T04:11:45.901-05:00So many fun things about this Golden Age specimen!...So many fun things about this Golden Age specimen!<br /><br />I'd put the blame on the news about Aquaman's infirmity getting out squarely on the hat brim to whom it belongs -- Hedda Hopper.<br /><br />There were stories about that hoary old war horse of a plot of there being dissolved gold in sea water THAT FAR BACK?!<br /><br />"Make hay while the sun shines!" Ocean Master should be so classy to adopt this as his battle cry; and why not?<br /><br />I like that it's a fantastical sea creature that serves as a linchpin for this story; and that it's acknowledged that only Aquaman can survive four miles under the surface of the ocean. Everybody knew he was a durable bad-a$$ back then; they just didn't make a big deal about it.Joseph Brian Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-31043716504712879432011-11-06T01:17:38.943-05:002011-11-06T01:17:38.943-05:00Ah, Aquaman smacking Black Jack around never gets ...Ah, Aquaman smacking Black Jack around never gets old...<br /><br />No TMZ in 1949 of course, though there were gossip magazines. That, and radio; some unscrupulous radio program host looking for a "scoop" about the Sea King bought the story from some lab tech?<br /><br />Relevant to DCU media, this month (November 1949) also sees the debut (in "Detective") of Roy Raymond, "TV Detective." Though Roy seems to have been treated as an Earth-One-only character per 70s Superman stories...<br /><br />Re: Superboy: From the description I found, Superboy helps out the class "goat" by making him appear to be Superboy, while also capturing a gangster. ("Goat"? Sounds like a line out of "Peanuts"... :-p )Anthonyhttp://www.anthonynotes.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
