Aquaman – Creative Homage

One of my all-time favorite Aquaman scenes comes from Aquaman #50, 1970.  The scene features Aquaman swimming through a jumbled telepathic mess.  However, if you look closely the jumbled mess is actually the names of several of the various creators that have worked on the character over the years.  My buddy Ravenface and I would pour over this panel picking out the names we knew.  We loved saying “Gi-Or-Dan-O” in a warped, warbly voice that matched the lettering of his name in the panel.

Rob over at the fantastic Aquaman Shrine recently did a blog on this issue and included my favorite panel (see below).  Stop by the Aquaman Shrine and check out Rob’s thoughts on this issue.

Aquaman Creator Panel

Great job with the site, Rob!  Keep up the excellent work!  And remember, “Gi-Or-Dan-O”!

  1. thanks for the shout-out!

    btw, the “Giordano” name in the water actually debuts on the previous page, by itself, and then we get to this panel. weird, huh?

  2. That must be why the name sticks out so much in my memory.

    Awesome! You continue to be a fount of knowledge.
