This is the only Aquaman-centric segment from 2005's Bizarro World, the follow-up volume to Bizarro Comics.
I have to admit, this piece, simply titled "Aquaman", by Mike Doughty and Danny Hellman, is not really funny at all, nor is it trying to be--its really more "Aquaman Sunday Melancholies." So if you don't want to your lazy Sunday loaded down with a vague sense of ennui, I would suggest skipping this:
That's it for "Aquaman Sunday Funnies", at least for now. Hope you enjoyed these skewed looks at the Sea King!
In lieu of a crossword or puzzle page this Sunday, I thought the Shrine would indulge in another old-timey tradition: the Sunday Funnies!
In this case, that means selections from DC's two Bizarro-themed collections, Bizarro Comics (2001) and Bizarro World (2005), which were short segments by writers and artists who (generally) don't work in mainstream superhero comics. Most of the stories are comedic, gently (and sometimes not so gently) poking fun at the conventions of the DCU, but some are melancholy, and some are even a little sad. One thing's for sure: they are definitely the most unique Aquaman stories you'll ever see.
The Sea King appears in a handful of segments across the two books, like this one, "Silence of the Fishes" by mad genius Evan Dorkin:
I just love the idea of Aquaman having a tiff with all the creatures of the sea. That just makes me laugh.
