You want a pretty place for Aquaman to hang out in? Well, as of issue #2 of the latest series, he's got it!
As you no doubt know from reading Aquaman
, our hero has washed up on the shores of Western Ireland. We learn in the second issue that he actually washed up on the most south-westerly point of Ireland, very near to Mizen Head Lighthouse. Doing some searches on the name, I found a bounty of wonderful images. The landscape there is wild and beautiful, and the place itself is now a tourist attraction. In Aquaman's universe, the DC universe, it's pretty clear that Mizen Head had a different history. I also found some interesting notes on one page (that I now can no longer find) which indicated that the mystical land of Thierna Na Oge is somewhere off the coast from Mizen Head. It's one of those things that make me go "Hmmmm..."
Wow, I now have a destination I want to go to if I should ever visit Ireland! Thanks Rick Veitch!
