2013: The Year of Siggy?

As 2012 winds to a close, all us Aqua-Fans have reason to be optimistic. The Sea King had what is unarguably his greatest year in decades, and both creatively and financially, there's no reason to think 2013 won't be even better!

But one glaring omission to the Aqua-Family remains in the New 52: namely, Siggy the Seahorse, who delighted the comics-reading world in his debut, Adventure Comics #466. Unfortunately, we haven't seen him at all in the new DCU, so I thought it would be appropriate--nay, essential--to try and remind The Powers That Be that Siggy is just floating out there, in some dusty old DC legal document, waiting to be rediscovered.

So to help get the ball rolling, the Shrine has decided to post panels from every single Siggy adventure, which will hopefully prove to a new generation of fans that he is ready for the Big Show. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and rejoice:

I asked Siggy's creator, Bob Rozakis, for his thoughts about bringing the Sensational Seahorse back. He was on board, but had a slightly different take on the whole thing:

"I think before there can be a petition for DC to have me bring back Siggy, someone needs to petition to DC to bring back ME!" What can we say--the Shrine agrees!


Thanks everyone, and we'll you see you all--and hopefully Siggy--in 2013!
