Aquaman #58

Aquaman #58 promises a packed November 1977 treat, promising the Sea King's incredible origin alongside Mera's Quest and what the cover boldly calls his deadliest battle. Jim Aparo's cover artwork captures Aquaman in his orange-and-green costume reeling under assault, a whip-like weapon coiling around him while a masked, purple-clad attacker launches an explosive attack from below. It's a striking, kinetic composition that sets the stage for a story — written by David Michelinie with interior art and letters by Aparo — that reaches back into Aquaman's past while charging headlong into danger.
