as someone who doesn't know much about comics i have to ask, did aquaman always have a mullet?

not until the 90s
(maybe 80s? that Craig Hamilton mini with the blue costume?)

I've only ever seen this ad, dunno if that's mullet or bubbles

In my memory that's a mix between a classic mullet and a Lief Garrett 70s winged monstrosity. By the way, that's his uniform in the mini - he looks like a figure skater covered in kelp.
Despite all that, I remember liking the story. I was young and dumb, I'm sure.

Didn't Aquaman have a semi-long hair in the 90s, not a mullet? It was Supes who had the horrible mullet.
I thought Aquaman was now back to his "classic" (pre-90s) look, but apparently not, at least not in this comic.

Clearly the 90s Aquaman was inspired by Kurt Cobain, not Don Johnson.

Interestingly, Neal Adams has no use for continuity. I think it's supposed to be an early adventure, but it's so clearly just Neal Adams doing things the way they should be. As we shall next issue when Batman meets the current president, Ultimate Warrior.

Aquaman was iirc given his hand back by The Lady Of The Lake in return for defeating The Thirst, although this was a water filled glove kind of affair. I think his proper hand came back after he used the bones of it to pull Sub Diego back onto dry land while he was the Dweller In The Depths and was properly fixed while he was a Black Lantern.
I should get out more.

Fucking DC. Return of Bruce Wayne is running so late that he's already back in these bloody 'Road Home' things. Why don't they delay THEm so it all makes sense. And why is Return running late anyway? Each issue has a different artist and they still can't get it right. Fucksake!

Morrison's at fault there, as evidence by artists dropping out when the scripts don't arrive and rush-jobs by hacks going to print late instead.

DC have still blown their own scheduling on it though, dropping FOUR of the side-mini-series issues in ONE WEEK and getting the "now read X next!" blurbs wrong in at least one

I have no idea what is going on in this comic, but Mr. Adams has kindly put together a recap page like this. Now, having read it, I really have no idea what is going on.

i mean read that panel out loud and give each ellipsis a good 2 second pause and the dialogue gets even wackier

is the storyline that the Graysons stole someone's trapeze moves, and therefore they were justifiably kiled under circus law? And now Batman has to kill Robin under that same circus law, because he's a real stickler for following the law, even circus law?

Robin's... dick is exactly what I would call the rich man's climbing tool in the first image above. Am I wrong? Or does it look totally like a sex toy?
