Tom versus Aquaman and Detective Comics number 300 or you're right no reason to ask these guys a second round of questions.

Welcome back for Aquaman and Detective Comics number 300, the February 1962 issue featuring a cover by Sheldon Moldoff with the issue edited by Jack Schiff and our Aquaman story is the mystery of the undersea safari featuring art by

Nick Cardi. That's right, we're back in the detective comics. Aquaman has his own book. He's got

backup stories. The children of the 60s demanded Aquaman and DC comics jammed it down their

throat through every avenue they could think of. The kids want to taste to Aquaman. Once they get

Aquaman in their blood, they want

more. Once you train them for that, how do you take it away? You don't. You give them more. You

feed them more. More Aquaman stories, including this one, which is not a stellar story.

It's a dud, a little bit. We make the best of what we can do. We begin. Aquaman, Aqualad, hanging out on a beach for 59 minutes, and they've got to go back in the water. When a Jeep pulls up and a group of men run out, happy to see Aquaman, because they had heard that Aquaman often comes to this specific beach for no particular reason. I guess Aquaman collects shells, perhaps. You cannot play Stratomatic

underwater, so he comes up on the surface to play against Aquiland. Whatever reason he comes to this

beach, these guys heard about it. They're here. They need help. A friend of theirs. Professor

Peters is in deep trouble. And Aquaman wonders what trouble he's in.

One of the lead man, by the name of Jeffers,

explains that the professor found an ancient map of an undersea trail leading to ancient treasure.

It was a bunch of sacred idols that pirates had stolen that sunk and they were hidden somewhere,

and it was all centuries ago.

And part of the legend is that a fantastic wizard stopped the pirates, grab the idols back,

hid them, and then set booby traps around the idols.

The professor found a map.

He's trying to go find it himself by following this trail.

He's going to hit the booby traps.

It's going to be disastrous.
