Been there done that. I created Lolina the mermaid for an old Superboy short story that appeared in Adventure Comics. She was created to be a shark-herding puka-shell wearing dark-skinned mermaid. My editor was black. My colorist was black. I was the Puerto Rican writer who had done Blood Syndicate. Hullo. I always make a sketch of new characters and pass it to the artist (Steve Lightle). Do you think Lolina was ever not going to be black? You're welcome. #ivanvelezjr #adventurecomics #milestone #arialblack #mermaid #planetbronx #jasonscottjones #stevelightle #beentheredonethat (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzkKdQsFQtZ/?igshid=pm0vms1n1uiw
