Adventure Comics #229

In "The End of the Kent Family," Aquaman faces a rare moment of decision when he must choose a special assistant from among three unlikely candidates: an octopus, a swordfish, and a whale. With Ramona Fradon's expressive art bringing the underwater world to life, the tension builds as the fate of the Kent family hangs in the balance. The cover by Curt Swan and Stan Kaye captures the moment with dramatic flair, making this 1956 DC classic a must-read for fans of early Aquaman tales.
