Missing my chance with Paul Norris, co-creator of Aquaman
In 2006, I wrote to Paul Norris, the artist who (with Mort Weisinger) co-created one of my favorite superheroes, Aquaman.

How favorite? This favorite. (Warning: Underoos.)
Paul was 92.
I asked for an interview.
He kindly granted it:
But then I squandered it.
I didn’t take him up on it. Part of the reason was I didn’t yet have this blog, so didn’t have an easy outlet to share the interview. Part of it was just general lapse of judgment.
In 2007, Paul passed away.
A belated thank you, Paul. I know others interviewed you but I regret missing my chance. If there’s an Atlantis, I’m sure you’re there now, relaxing as you watch a confetti of fish waggle by.
