☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Where the Space-Winds Blow!", Aquaman's origins take center stage as Tom Curry recounts the moment he became the sea's champion—his transformation, his mother Atlanna’s legacy, and the shadow of Ocean Master’s growing influence. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and Len Wein, with dynamic art by Don Heck and colors by Jerry Serpe, this issue deepens the mythos with quiet intensity. The cover by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano captures the epic scale of the undersea world, a 50-cent adventure from 1981.
