In "The Legion of the Weird!", Red—reborn after presumed death with no memory—returns to Challenger Island, where he teams up with Multi-Man to create a mysterious Liquid Light formula. After drinking it and transforming into a man-fish, he’s captured by pirates and forced into a living exhibit as the mythical "Lord of the Ocean," where he forms an unlikely bond with a Polynesian girl named Tiana. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Bob Brown, with inks by Mike Esposito and lettering by Milt Snapinn, this 1968 DC classic features a cover by Bob Brown and Mike Esposito that captures the eerie, otherworldly tone of Red’s transformation into the vengeful legend Seekeenakee.
