It’s not a coincidence that Aquaman and I both have blonde hair. My father, Mort Weisinger, co-created Aquaman in 1941 and he co-created me in 1948. Before I was born, Aquaman’s father, who my Dad made a famous scientist (a projection of what he would have been if he was a scientist instead of a writer) discovered an ancient city in the depths where no other diver had ever penetrated, the lost kingdom of Atlantis.

Considering that more and more people have to travel to another culture...
