The Independent Online DC Comics Fan Magazine Vol. II Issue 20 An Interview With Elongated Man Comic Book Quote of the Month: Black Manta: You always deny me the power I crave. This (underwater) city shall be the basis for a new empire over which I alone shall rule…I’ve recruited enough of my own people to serve that purpose. Aquaman: Your people? Surface dwellers? Black Manta: No, I mean exactly what I said: ‘my people.’ Or have you never wondered why I’m called - - Black Manta? Not that racism is my motive - - but since blacks have been suppressed for so long on the surface, they fight well for a chance to be ‘masters’ below!
