I suppose I shouldn't feel like I'm neglecting my blog when I only post one note a day to it. Especially when I had a very flu-like illness and was really sick for a few days. Anyway, here's a review to cap off your week:
This is the very first Aquaman #1, though as some wags have noted, far from the last. It's a pretty good issue, too. The "three chapter" format of the Silver Age made for nice little tales with self-contained adventures in each part. In this one, the middle chapter completely leaves the main antagonists of the story to show how Aquaman and Aqualad survive being shrunk to doll-size far from any source of water. The artwork in the story is by the wonderful Nick Cardy, who is a gentleman and a hero. The story is by Bob Haney. This is also the first appearance of Quisp, a visitor from another dimension... which was a common thread in these old stories.
More tomorrow...
