Tom versus Aquaman and Aquaman number 36 or origin stories are old and busted.

Welcome back for Aquaman number 36, the November, December, 1967 issue featuring a cover by Nick Carty,

issued being edited by George Castern.

Our Aquaman's story is, what seeks the awesome threesome?

Not the type of threesome that is the most awesome, I'm guessing, but it is a perfectly sufficient definition

for this story. Written by Bob Haney, featuring art by Nick Carty, we begin on the surface

world. A fantastic futuristic fair, Expo 21st Century. It's like a world's fair where

people get together and you get to see what the cutting edge of modern technology is.

There's monorails, floating things, fountains, big domes. There's always big domes in any fair

about the future. We think eventually we'll just live in the world that has the domes, but now

always just a little bit ahead of us.

And the place is packed, pack with people.

We see a whole crowd, a whole line on this sidewalk with one man complaining about why the line never moves.

Then someone tells him that they're on an automated sidewalk.

Like a sort of like a moving sidewalk, which makes me think this guy just looks down at his feet the entire time he's walking or moving.

He just doesn't look at the world around what this thing's crowded.

People love it.

And the biggest, most fantastic exhibit, of course, ties into Al-Man.

We see crowds of people going in these tunnels and these

escalators down into the ocean. Where are they going? They're going to the Atlantean Pavilion,

an authentic scale model replica of the fabulous city of Atlantis. And guess who's living inside

the scale replica? Some real Atlanteans, Aquar Girl, Aquilad, Aquaman, Mara, Aqua Baby.
