In "H Is for Holocaust," Aquaman faces his most urgent challenge yet when terrorists seize a cargo ship carrying nuclear material, threatening to plunge Atlantis into ruin. As the undersea hero races to prevent catastrophe, dissent brews beneath the waves, where some Atlanteans question whether their king is truly fit to lead their people into the future. Written by Paul Levitz and Gerry Conway, with dynamic art by Jim Aparo—pencils, inks, and lettering—and vibrant colors by Carl Gafford, this 1975 issue delivers a tense, timely story anchored in both high-stakes action and political unease. The cover by Jim Aparo captures the dread of impending disaster with striking precision.
