“A Cannon for Batman”
In "A Cannon for Batman," a 1981 DC adventure, astronauts returning from space mistake Earth's ocean near Atlantis for an alien world—until Aquaman and his family, complete with Hostess Fruit Pies, set them straight. Curt Swan’s art, with Vince Colletta’s inks and Ben Oda’s lettering, brings the moment to life, while Jim Aparo’s cover captures the intrigue with his signature style.
