Aquaman #36

December 1967 brings a genuinely gripping cover from Nick Cardy, showing Aquaman — golden-haired and straining against a massive purple mechanical tentacle coiled around his body — being dragged through churning underwater currents while a burst of red energy crackles nearby. The bold tagline "The King of the Sea is now King of TV!" reflects the hero's animated popularity that year, and the teasing question "What Seeks the Awesome Threesome?" promises a threat as strange as it looks. Bob Haney handles the writing duties, making this an appealing package for fans who love their Silver Age DC with a healthy dose of undersea menace.
