Item Description

Here's an amzing, near-pristine copy of AQUAMAN #20, back when that Orange and Green costume was a familiar sight in JLA adventures!

In "The Sea King's Double Doom!", AQUAMAN rescues an Atlantean from a great two-headed beast,, and meets a newcomer--Kaltor, an Atlantean who trained him in the use of his powers when he was a teenager. Now Kaltor claims that his own fighting strength has waned, and makes AQUAMAN swear a sacred oath to destroy the two-headed monster.

Later, the monster kidnaps MERA, but AQUAMAN refuses to let AQUALAD destroy it, opting to capture it instead. The two-headed beast soon metamorphoses into Kaltor and he tells AQUAMAN that, since being exposed to strange fumes in an underwater mine, he has been transformed periodically into the monster, and fears the next change will be permanent.

Kaltor becomes the beast again, and AQUAMAN steels himself and slays the creature. But the monster transforms back into a living Kaltor, who is reunited with his daughter Starene. AQUAMAN says that the "death" of the monster was evidently the antidote to Kaltor's curse.

Beautiful artwork by Nick Cardy, inking himself here.

This is an amazing-looking 56-year old Silver Age AQUAMAN -- no creases, tears, or abnormal toning. The binding is strong, the colors are bright. We confidently grade this a 9.0 VF/NM. . . which Overstreet values at $163 . . . but we're pricing it at just $105 . . with FREE shipping!
