“Toxxin's Raiders”

In "Toxxin's Raiders," Aquaman, Mera, and Arthur Jr. find themselves stranded in the Aquacave after being exiled from Atlantis. When Aquaman and Mera are captured by Toxxin, the enigmatic leader of a secretive underwater society, they're drawn into a desperate belief that a massive, mysterious plant is poisoning their world—and only a sacrifice can stop it. Written by Paul Levitz and David Michelinie and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Aparo (pencils, inks, and cover), this 1976 adventure blends underwater intrigue with a haunting moral dilemma, all rendered in vivid colors by Carl Gafford and lettered by Aparo.
