I even wrote up a version of the character for the old DC Heroes RPG game published by Mayfair! Oh yes, I'm THAT kind of geek!<BR/><BR/>As a teen I bought up every Aquaman back issue I could find, condition be damned. And I really dug the Quisp issues. He was a sweet child-like little guy. He was never as mean-spirited as Mxy, whose pranks were designed, at the very least, to humiliate Superman. Nope, Quisp genuinely liked Aquaman. <BR/><BR/>And he was never as incompetent as Bat-Mite whose bumbling hero worship caused Batman and Robin no end of trouble. Quisp was usually really helpful. <BR/><BR/>I guess I have a sort of false nostalgia for Quisp. The little guy represents an era in comics that I'm too young to have experienced first hand. Plus he's an example of Aquaman being treated, editorially, like any other super-hero. I guess that's a strange thing to say, "you want Aquaman to be like every other hero?" In a way, yes. But that's too involved to explain here. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I didn't care for Morrison's revival of "Qwsp" and my Quisp write-up at<BR/> http://www.writeups.org/index.html <BR/><BR/>enumerates why I don't think they're the same entity. Man, I'm a geek!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-91458671614179941842008-09-28T08:42:00.000-04:002008-09-28T08:42:00.000-04:00I never liked Quisp, which is another reason I sen...I never liked Quisp, which is another reason I sent this to you...! :-) I did enjoy his return under Morrison, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-86253141247895003712008-09-28T02:44:00.000-04:002008-09-28T02:44:00.000-04:00P.S.: I was waiting 38 years to say that.
