Could it also be something as simple as she has hard-water tears? :)<br /><br />I'm extremely excited about the DOAP TPB (sorry Paul, pre-ordered a while back...) but am very disappointed in the cover as well. Not so much the image, but the "Death of a Prince" typography. But then again, I dislike a lot of titling I see in comics.

I loved these as a kid - started collecting with these very issues and became and Aquaman fan for life. Even experienced my first "cancellation" with these - so sad (although I was truly crushed when Aparo left after #59 - only later did I learn to appreciate Newton's art - hey, I was a young kid). Well, thanks again - looking forward to a VERY nostalgic summer with this volume!<br /><br />HowardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-67356626145426621872011-06-07T18:22:53.107-04:002011-06-07T18:22:53.107-04:00Buh-yah!Buh-yah!Paul Kupperberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584440406658489657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-5368284734427962402011-06-07T18:10:40.100-04:002011-06-07T18:10:40.100-04:00This is why I love the Shrine.This is why I love the Shrine.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-82193100644513621972011-06-07T18:09:02.067-04:002011-06-07T18:09:02.067-04:00@Jason & rob!:

This also explains why Atlanteans are able to style their hair so nicely instead of having it float upwards like normal humans does when underwater.<br /><br />True fact!Joe Slabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830460003862069026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-73616904413680903032011-06-07T17:09:15.082-04:002011-06-07T17:09:15.082-04:00Um...they're really big tears!Um...they're really big tears!rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-90679478879617309312011-06-07T17:08:27.966-04:002011-06-07T17:08:27.966-04:00Aparo is The Man, but... would Mera's tears re...Aparo is The Man, but... would Mera's tears really be evident and streaming down her face, much less, underwater?!JasonMotesBowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446537206909443125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-56901598367110661992011-06-07T17:08:03.576-04:002011-06-07T17:08:03.576-04:00Jeez Steve, you're right!
