Sequential Tart has a couple of things of interest to me as an Aquaman fan this month. First up is an interview with Rick Veitch in which Aquaman is mentioned. I like this line: "And of course, as a writer, the best place to be is getting handed a project no one thinks can ever be a success. The editors are open to new concepts and if you pull it off, the fans will love you forever." He's already got me mostly on his side, and if he does manage to pull it off, I think a "love you forever" isn't out of the picture.
But, while that interview is fun, it doesn't introduce any new concepts. The big surprise came in the interview with Dave Roman and John Green. It's in the second-to-the-last paragraph, talking about a SpongeBob Squarepants comic book special. "We do a parody of comics through the ages featuring SpongeBob and even got golden age Aquaman artist, Ramona Fradon to draw a Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy story." Read that line again... "Ramona Fradon to draw a Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy story." And again... and again. Ramona is drawing Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy!!!! Ok, this is a must-have for any Aquaman fan.
