Aquaman #30

In "In Darkness He Waits," Aquaman and Manta find themselves trapped in the crushing depths, where a long-dead leviathon drifts in silent isolation. As the ancient beast stirs in the dark, Aquaman fights to escape, but Manta is left entangled in its skeletal remains. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Martin Egeland and Jim Calafiore, with inks by Howard M. Shum and Peter Palmiotti, and colors by Tom McCraw, this 1997 issue features a haunting cover by Martin Egeland and Howard M. Shum.
