    Aquaman, Monarch of the Seven Seas

    Here I go again. This one was partially inspired by the Captain Action comic ad that ran in most DC silver age titles, and Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon. To me, the Aquman pic in the CA ad always looked like he is wearing a chainmail or mesh shirt, and the accessories are cool. I took the collar straight from Flash Gordon.




    And the Captain Action ad:

    Nice work Joe.

    Where did you get the material for his shirt? I'm after something similar for my Sea Devil custom but haven't found anything suitable.

        Nice mixture of the CA comic and Flash Gordon, great job Joe.
        And as always I really like his accessories, especially the shell horn

                  I've always been a fan of Captain Action, even though he was before my time. My favorite is Aquaman (go figure...the CA Spiderman just doesn't do it for me). He even comes with flippers!

                  This is my favorite that you've done recently. He looks exactly like the ad pages. Superb!
