“Fish out of Water”

In "Fish out of Water," Blue Devil is pulled into a bizarre experiment at S.T.A.R. Labs that accidentally spawns tiny water monsters across the city—just as The Fisherman and his crew strike during a beach party, turning chaos into full-blown aquatic mayhem. Written by Gary Cohn and Dan Mishkin, with dynamic art by Alan Kupperberg and inks by Mark Farmer, this 1985 issue blends sci-fi mishaps with seaside sabotage. The cover by Paris Cullins and Gary Martin captures the absurd tension perfectly.
