Here's another cover that came from a suggestion by Back Issue's Editor-In-Chief, Michael Eury. This was a pairing that I never had considered, but once I heard it, I had to give it a shot! I remember my older sister Diahne actually getting some Sea-Monkeys when I was a kid. Let me tell you, those brine shrimp were nowhere near as interesting as their ads implied!
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI think DC's 'Mazing Man made a reference to the Sea Monkeys, too. 'Mazing Man ordered them and set them up in the tub in one issue.
Awesome!
Ha! indeed. I am reminded of Cartman and his Sea-People.
ReplyDeleteFor my first ever comment to this awesome blog...which has helped give my phone many backgrounds... I had to pick something really noteworthy. Teaming the King of the Seven Seas with an iconic comic "pet" offer... Classic. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Reminds me of the time Mysterio made Spidey think he was being held captive in some little boy's bug jar.
ReplyDeletethis is the best cover I've seen in a long time here both in concept and in terms of the digital art aspect. good job!
ReplyDeleteOutrageous! ... Well played, sir, well played.
ReplyDeleteThis actually seems a lot like the stories I remember from those DC Giant Size issues!
ReplyDeleteI assume in part two of the story, the Sub-Mariner comes in, to rescue Aquaman...
I laughed so hard, tea came out of my nose! Great work!
ReplyDeleteArtie, if there was ever a time in your superhero career to start screaming in horror, this would probably be it.
ReplyDeleteLoved that South Park episode.
ReplyDeleteLove this cover, very silver age.

LOL! Do something with Captain O (Olympic Sales Club) next!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is one of the most brilliant covers you've ever done. You are simply amazing. The one thing that could have made it better is if we could have seen a giant kid's face looking through the glass behind them.
ReplyDeleteHa, you're right, that would have been a funny addition. Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteWho's Billy?
ReplyDeleteProbably Billy Anders, the paraplegic little boy whose life somehow became linked to a lynx in a couple issues of SUPERMAN in the pre-Bicentennial Seventies.
