Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes #240

In "The Man Who Manacled the Legion," a 1978 DC classic, Aquaman and Aqualad find themselves in an unexpected rescue mission when a tidal wave threatens a tiny research sub. With Curt Swan’s smooth art and E. Nelson Bridwell’s clever storytelling, the story unfolds as the heroes celebrate their success with Hostess Twinkies—though the dolphins, who did the real work, are left out. The cover by Al Milgrom, Mike Grell, and Joe Rubinstein captures the moment with playful flair.
