Final Thoughts for the Night


Here's a review to cap off the week:



Another classic tale from the Silver Age. This one introduces a new villain to the comic, Black Manta. Manta's history isn't known, although bits of it were explored in the Shaun McLaughlin Aquaman series. As you might be able to see from the cover, another character made his return in this issue. Yes, the mighty Orm... also known as Ocean Master, who is Aquaman's half-brother. Not at all obvious, though, is the first appearance of my favorite Aqua-character after Aquaman himself: Vulko. Doctor Vulko is primarily a scientist in this issue, though as the stories progress he becomes everything from King to midwife to returned-from-the-dead.

Ha. No mimmoths in this post...
