In "The Super Star of Hollywood!", Aquaman faces a bizarre new threat when the brilliant but criminal Dr. Krill transforms a criminal into a Human Flying Fish to outwit him—leaving the sea hero scrambling to adapt. Written by Robert Bernstein and illustrated with dynamic flair by Ramona Fradon, this 1960 adventure blends sci-fi spectacle with a touch of absurdity, all under Curt Swan’s striking cover art.
