Tom versus Aquaman and Adventure Comics number 239, or I want to read a comic about that boat.

0:08.7

Welcome back for Aquaman and Adventure Comics number 239, the August 157.

0:13.9

Issue featuring a cover pencil by Kurt Swannings by Stan K.

0:17.0

With the issue being edited by Mort Wisinger, and our Aquaman story is The Voyage of the Good Ship Aquaman,

0:23.3

featuring art by Ramona Freighton. Now, some bad news.

0:26.8

Aquaman gets bumped to the third feature in the book. You got your Superboy lead story.

0:31.0

You got your Green Arrow backup, and now Aquaman is in the back of the book.

1:28.9

dying enough that this poor man put all his money into a boat to save people's lives.

1:34.2

Fuel, I don't know how he's going to get fuel. Is he charging people after he saves others?

1:38.7

Does he rob them a little bit? Well, he's launching the Aquaman, which if I was Aquaman,
