“Once There Was a River, Now There's a Stone”

The cover by Ethan Van Sciver pulls you straight into the deep, with Aquaman — seen from behind, arms outstretched, his ornate golden bracelet catching the light — surging upward through a richly detailed underwater world teeming with fish of every size. The tagline "Deep Sea… Dying!" lends the scene a real sense of urgency, hinting that the ocean realm Arthur calls home may be in serious trouble. With Rick Veitch writing and Yvel Guichet on interior art, this October 2003 issue looks like a compelling chapter in Aquaman's ongoing struggle to protect the seas.
