Final Thoughts for the Night


Here's a review to cap off the week:



Before Aquaman got his own book, but after he had a trial run in Showcase, he moved into a temporary home in the pages of Detective Comics. These stories stand out as some of the best Aquaman tales ever published. They have the incredible art of Nick Cardy and a slightly more scientific bent to them than many of his other stories. Detective #293 saw the first of these stories: "The Sensational Sea Scoops". In this six page adventure, Aquaman and Aqualad become reporters to undercover a pirate, and the mix of Aquaman's incredible powers with a slight bit of detective work makes for good reading all around.

Adding to the fun of this particular story for me is the fact that, thanks to the generosity and kindness of Jerry Bails, I own the original art of the fourth page of this story.
