He gets yellow gloves now and then. I actually think it makes a cool design, but the same mistake nontheless...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-64773180876565643322008-09-03T16:03:00.000-04:002008-09-03T16:03:00.000-04:00It's too, too funny! That the yellow gloves had always bothered me, as well. However, I kind of like the fact that Roy Thomas used the blunder to differentiate between the Aquaman of Earth-2 and the one from Earth-1.Randynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-38413620394699350292008-09-03T02:48:00.000-04:002008-09-03T02:48:00.000-04:00When Alex Ross painted the scene, he retained the yellow gloves: http://www.alexrossart.com/galleries/liberty/full/16-17.jpg<BR/><BR/>A similar error I find funny is Thor sometimes colored as not wearing pants.Thohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18240089848159132327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-398211555176154312008-09-02T20:51:00.000-04:002008-09-02T20:51:00.000-04:00I always found this odd too. Especially since in many cases it's just the one hand. Perhaps it is like a "secret handshake" or an inside joke amongst the editors...or not.Scurvyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05581506763821479702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-17781633278664966362008-09-02T20:36:00.000-04:002008-09-02T20:36:00.000-04:00The funny thing for me is that Roy Thomas has openly embraced what I always thought was a coloring mistake and used it to differentiate the Earth 2 Aquaman. I believe I read somewhere that in some of his Golden Age adventures he is shown wearing yellow gloves, so instead of calling that a mistake, Roy uses it. Seems..er...fishy to me.russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-44073612484349027082008-09-02T08:24:00.000-04:002008-09-02T08:24:00.000-04:00I know your pain Rob. As a Robin fan, I too had to live with the indignity of constant bad coloring. I have a Batman sleeping bag that I've had since I was 4 or so. Robin in seen in his classic Infantino running pose. But his collar is colored RED, not yellow as it should be. There it is, for all time, nearly life-size, in RED. And often times in the comics poor Robin would have blue where his green should be, or red booties instead of green. And many modern comic colorlists never cracked a comic book open from before 1988, because they can't seem to color poor Dick's original costume right in flashbacks. They almost always give him a two-toned black and yellow cape!<BR/><BR/>At least Aquaman at one time HAD yellow gloves. Maybe he just got nostalgic from time to time and put them on, like an old pair of sneakers. :-)<BR/><BR/>ChrisEarth 2 Chrisnoreply@blogger.com
