Showcase Presents: Aquaman #1
In "How Aquaman Got His Powers!", Jimmy Olsen steps into the role of Atlantis’ protector when Aquaman is called away on a case, temporarily inheriting his abilities. When a prehistoric monster thaws from an iceberg, it begins mimicking the fish Jimmy has trained—leading to chaos beneath the waves. Al Plastino’s art brings the aquatic action to life, while Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff’s cover captures the moment with classic flair.
