Everyone Loves Comics

Lots of stores had special promotions for Free Comic Book Day. One lucky store got Tom Whalen to produce a lovely print for them that shows how Everyone Loves Comics.

Also available in red, both shades of the poster are currently up for sale on eBay.

Fabulous Aquaman

Sottapop had a whimsy and drew some of our Justice League members... well... here's Aquaman. Click for the whole thing or visit the original page.

Aquaman, strutting his stuff

As a person who collects different artistic interpretations of Aquaman, this one definitely tickled my fancy. Add in my general amusement whenever male superheroes are dressed the way female superheroes tend to be dressed, and I'm even more gleeful about it. Your mileage may vary, of course.

What never was...

This little piece of uncolored art featuring Aquaman is from the original Nightwing #30 with art by Meghan Hetrick.

Doesn't Arthur have a black suit he can wear to funerals?

That's not Aquaman's face

Is it just me, or is that really not Aquaman's face, by any stretch of the imagination?

Happy belated Father's Day

There is more Aquaman art at the page, too.
