Tom versus Aquaman and Detective Comics

294 or stare into Topo's

cold dead robot eyes.

Welcome back for Aquaman and Detective

Comics number 294, the August

1961 issue, feature a cover by Sheldon Moldoff

edition being added by Jack Shep.

And our Aquaman story is the fantastic fish

that defeated Aquamanaman featuring art by Nick

Hardy. We begin. Cargo boat. Not in danger yet. We'll be shortly within a panel or two.

They begin merely startled by the appearance of a large marine creature that's charging directly

at them with a buzzsaw on the front of it or something that looks like a buzzsaw.

The magic of evolution. It's charging the boat. It hits the boat. Rips open the hull.

Is it there to sink it? It's a multi-part plant because as that fish fades back.

A giant sort of turtle slash octopus creature takes its place. Big grappling hooks on the end of its tentacles,

snagging all of the cargo, carrying it off, the captain screaming, well, what's going on?

Where did these fish come from?

Luckily, he's yelling it off the side of the boat, so it makes sense when the guy in charge is actually responding because

there's a man aboard another fish that's nearby that has a rather convenient looking observation

deck by which you can watch everything that's going on. It's a strange adaptation to happen.

Who knows? This fish could have come from a realm where the key to survival was being ridden around by the man in charge.

There might have been what's going on.
