Aquaman #23

From the depths of 1965 comes this unforgettable DC cover by Nick Cardy, where a massive, gape-jawed monster fish dominates the scene — conjured, the cover tells us, by the tiny outstretched hand of Aquababy himself. Aquaman faces the enormous creature head-on while a red-haired Mera clutches the newborn in the lower corner, her expression caught between wonder and alarm. The cover's teasing questions — "Where do his deadly powers come from?" and "What turns the Sea King's son into a tiny bundle of doom?" — make this issue of "The Birth of Aquababy" genuinely hard to put down unread.
