The Quarter Bin: And Not a Drop to Drink!

Martinex1: It is time for an all new and all different $1 Challenge.   This time lets take a plunge and get wet with our heroes, heroines, adventurers, and comic pals.   Oceans and the depths are constant fodder for exploration in the four-color set.  Other than outer space, I cannot think of a more mythical and strange setting.   Being under the sea or trapped in a watery prison presents very real and relatable risks to the characters.  The ocean can also be portrayed as a wild, unexplored, and even legendary frontier. 

And in my opinion, underwater art is fantastic. Comic art connoisseurs can expound on the Kirby Krackle, but I really enjoy Buscema Bubbles and Perez Percolation.  Who do you think is the best seafaring artist?

So today, I am taking a look at a wide variety of covers that have watery themes - from simple swimming pools to hidden lands to ocean beaches to liquid death traps.   There are 30 selections on our ever-rotating comic book rack.  Take a look and then pick your favorite four (four for a dollar after all)!  There may be some oddballs here that you have never seen before.  Share your choices and your reasons as you check out and leave your comments behind.  And please if you have read any of these, please feel free to share your thoughts on the comic, art, story, and setting.
