Back in Atlantis, a sudden sea quake shakes the city to its core. Written by Steve Skeates and illustrated with dynamic precision by Jim Aparo—whose distinctive pencils and inks define the story’s look—this Deluxe Edition features cover art by Jim Aparo and Nick Cardy, capturing the tale’s mythic undersea intensity.
