“Cold Hands, Warm Hearts!”

In "Cold Hands, Warm Hearts!", astronauts returning from space land in the ocean near Atlantis, convinced they've crash-landed on an alien world—until Aquaman and his family, offering Hostess Fruit Pies, gently set the record straight. With Curt Swan’s smooth art and Vince Colletta’s crisp inks, this 1981 DC adventure blends cosmic wonder with a touch of whimsy, all framed by Jim Starlin’s striking cover.
