We baby-boomers often feel we invented the ecology movement but Aquaman had us beat. The grimness of the opening panel portraying dead seals is not a far cry from a lot of press releases and documentaries put out by Greenpeace and others. While I agree this story is no blockbuster, it's really interesting from a historical perspective. After all, there were a lot of gangsters and Nazis to deal with in the forties. For a superhero to defend wildlife in those days was great. <br />By the way "sock-action" is a wonderful word. How it never made its way into popular usage remains a mystery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807010682929912588noreply@blogger.com
