Tom versus Aquaman and Aquaman number 38 or I believe you've been delirious at least once in your life,

Aquaman.

Welcome back for Aquaman number 38th, the March April, 1968 issue feature cover by Nick Cardi with

issue being edited by George Cashman.

And our Aquaman story is Justice's Mind, safe, the liquidator. Written by Bob Haney with Art by Nick Hardy. First note, I'm recording this very early in the morning, at least for recording a podcast.

It just throws all this stuff in that. He just wanted to tell the story. And this is one of the last

ones, I think the next one is the last Bob H to tell this story. And this is one of the last ones, I think

the next one is the last Bob Haney Aquaman story. So maybe he's just trying to jam everything in

he canvass. We begin right off the bat with no one we recognize. We begin with a giant creature

with some sort of strange. He looks like an underwater demon with like a claw hand and a hand that's made out of whips,

which, yeah, of course.

He has strange radar things on his head.

A bunch of Atlantean soldiers are lying on the ground injured,
