Aquaman #40

In "Sorcerers of the Sea," Aquaman and Aqualad plunge into the depths to rescue Mera, who’s been taken by unseen foes. Their search leads them to a hidden undersea village straight out of legend, where they encounter a queen whose presence feels strangely familiar. Written by Steve Skeates and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Aparo—pencils, inks, and letters all by the same hand—this 1968 classic features a striking cover by Nick Cardy.
