Tom versus Aquaman and Adventure Comics number 282 or none of the other heroes let their sidekick smell like rotten milk.

Welcome back for Aquaman in Adventure Comics number 282, the March, 1961, issue, feature cover, pencil by Kurtz 1, Inc.

Stan K. with the issue being added by Mort Wisinger.

It's right for back in Adventure Comics after being a showcase and the next one we showcase. Aquaman's popping up in a lot of places in the early 60s. He was getting around. Our Aquaman story is one hour to Doom with pencils by Ramona Frayden and Inks by Charles Paris. We begin. I'm aboard a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter as it sees two figures in the distance. That's Aquaman and Aquilad on the regular patrol. The captain of the boat is excited. He's got a great idea. It's time to signal Aquaman and Aquilad. Is there an emergency that they need them to help? They do need them to help him. It is kind of emergency See, the Coast Guard cutter just got a warning that Jed Rao, the notorious smuggler, is in the vicinity.

And they have to do everything they can to protect the shipping lanes of that area.

Do they ask Aquaman to go after Jed Rao?

No, they ask Aquaman to do something equally important.

Finish the Mail run. That's right. The Coast Guard's delivering mail to all the lighthouses and things on the ocean that get mail, and it's very important that they get their mail, and it's very important that Aquaman do it. He loves delivering mail. For whatever reason, he's just glad to help. We then see them out on the ocean. Aqualad on a porpo Aquaman, writing, Topo, thinking about Jed Rao, how he's moved from South America to the U.S.

And he should have been in jail a long time ago. They get to a lighthouse where the guy,

the lighthouse keeper is excited because it's a hobby kit that he ordered in the mail that keeps him busy.

He didn't expect to see Aquaman delivering, and Aquaman explains he'll do anything.

He'll do anything to help.

Mailman, policeman, doctor.

I think you need training for that.

Fireman, anything, anything anyone needs, aquaman will do it to help them as long

as they're on the ocean or involved with the ocean not far away we see marine scientists and a diving

bell aquaman's delivering their mail but they can't open up their diving bell as they're underwater so

he puts the ladder inside waterproof seal skin and leaves it with a porpoise giving them a hand signal that your mail's waiting for you when you get to the surface, the porpoise will deliver it.

That is excellent mail delivery technique from Aquaman.

I'm impressed.

Aquaman, he takes this shit seriously.

You give him a job.
