Hamilton drew a great costume, but no one else but Hamilton could draw the damned thing. That awkward phrasing was meant to both both applaud and caution against further use of Icecapades as inspiration in heroic design.<br /><br />Between you and me, I included Aquaman #5, and at a relatively high ranking, out of a sense of obligation. That image appeared on a postage stamp and some other odds and sods. It's also a decent representation of a unique power employed on a large scale. That said, I never much liked it either. Looks like he's sending waves of vibration from stress on his sphincter. Plankton is like cement in the colon, I hear. There might also be a psychological element related to that giant purple shaft he's standing on. Aquaman did spend time in prison, after all.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817894286745324495.post-66543135091435461802011-12-10T17:36:35.829-06:002011-12-10T17:36:35.829-06:00I forgot to mention that I really dig the Blue cos...I forgot to mention that I really dig the Blue costume!<br /><br />The Irredeemable ShagThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817894286745324495.post-46619811311342002972011-12-10T17:31:58.382-06:002011-12-10T17:31:58.382-06:00Great choices!

Wish I had some of those as posters.<br /><br />The only one I would definitely ditch is your #6 (Aquaman #5). Never liked that cover. I would replace it with Justice League of America Annual #2 (the first appearance of the JLD).<br /><br />Again, great list!<br /><br />The Irredeemable ShagThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.com
