Tom versus Aquaman in World's Finest Comics number 125, or the Shark has come up with the whole backstory for his character.

Welcome back for Aquaman and World's Finest Comics number 125, the May 1962 issue, featuring a cover pencil by Jim Mooney, inked by John Forte, the issue being edited by Jack Schiff, and our Aquaman story is Aquaman super sidekick, written by Jack Miller, featuring art by Nick Hardy.

And Aquaman is just a whore for these backups and books.

He's in everything.

Now he's in World's Find Us Comics for a while.

And he's got his own title going on.

He's everywhere.

The kids love Aquaman.

We begin.

Standard Day Aquaman, Aquilad, returning from an extended patrol.

They're talking to Coast Guard Cutter.

The Coast Guard Cutter is saying, the guy on the Coast Guard Cutter is reminding him.

The boat isn't talking.

Now, that is not a stretch.

And I would actually like to see that, the talking boat. The guy on the Coast Guard cutter, Coast Guard captain, I'm having a lot of problems saying Coast Guard.

He's reminding Aqualad that Aquilad was the only witness to some acts of piracy by Captain Claw, and in two days, Aqualad's going to have to go testify about it. I hope Captain Claw, that's not his legal name. I don't think that's going to look good in front of the jury. Aqualad puts it in his planet, and he says, I don't worry, I'm going to be there. It's going to be fine. And just as Aqualad and Aquaman are about to swim off a plane and comes screeching out of the clouds, bulleting towards them, strafing the water with bullets. Aquaman screams that they're under attack. He pushes Aqualad under the water. The Coast Guard cutter breaks out his machine gun shooting down the plane into the water.

Aquaman Aqualad grabbed the pilot, and the pilot admits, yes. He's a member of Captain Claus gang,

but they're not the only ones they're trying to kill Aqualad. There's more assassination teams

roaming the planet ready to kill Aquilad.

Though a lot of money spent on that plane.

So I bet he's got a good defenseler, or he's got a terrible defenseler, and he's spending it mostly on assassination squads.

So Claw obviously don't want Aquilad to testify.
