Aquaman #8

This April 1963 issue takes the King of the Seven Seas somewhere unexpected — outer space! Nick Cardy's cover drops Aquaman, Aqualad, and a yellow-suited figure onto the shore of an alien world, their spaceship sinking behind them as a trio of menacing creatures — a snarling green beast, a pale horned figure, and a lurking blue creature — close in around them. "The Plot to Steal the Seas" promises the kind of wildly imaginative Silver Age adventure that made DC's lineup such a thrill, and with Cardy handling both pencils and inks, every strange detail of this otherworldly scene is rendered with crisp, vibrant energy.
