The 1985 Pozner/Hamilton and even the 1991 monthly were better received works. OK, one guy liked the Giffen/Swan “Mera dies the hundredth time” mini.

He is doing the Trojan War in comic book form, with collections eventually. 3 collections are already out. Age of Bronze is one great comic.

Mr. Levitz, you need to sit down with writers (Geoff Johns is at the head of the list) and revive Aquaman to his deserved greatness. Having written and edited one of the best runs of the Sea King, who knows him better? If Iron Man can be A-list, so can Aquaman. (And a collection of the Skeates/Michelinie/Levitz/Aparo Aquaman in HC would be nice too. Adventure #452 has resonated in almost every Aquaman story since and influenced Meltzer.) Not just Legion.
