Give the fish-man his due – Super Friends #27
Not too long ago I posted a Super Friends cover that, to put it bluntly, made Aquaman look like a bitch. A whiny, scaly little bitch, pleading with Superman to save his bitch ass from a water-borne menace (“Why exactly do we keep you around, Arthur?”). Even if he redeemed himself in the interior story, the cover still left him looking like a super-powered wastrel.
As they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
I felt it was important to post this follow-up. Not only is Aquaman shown stepping up the plate, but he’s going above and beyond the call of duty. He’s grown a set of balls. The tables have truly turned. Everything’s topsy-turvy.
To quote Bill Murray in Ghostbusters: “Dogs and cats…living together…mass hysteria!”
