In "The Aquaman from Atlantis Chapter 1," a mysterious impostor wearing an Aquaman disguise terrorizes the seas, kidnapping Aqualad and abandoning him to perish on a desert island. Meanwhile, in ancient Greece, the real Aquaman aids the Greek forces in their battle against the Persians—so convincingly that the people begin to believe he is Poseidon himself. Written by Jack Miller and illustrated by Nick Cardy, this 1962 DC adventure features the dynamic art of Cardy on both interior pages and cover, with the cover pencils and inks also by Cardy.
