Aquaman #17
In "Numbers," Aquaman journeys to the mythical island of Hy-Brasil, seeking allies against an impending invasion, only to find himself at odds with Admiral Strom—a figure whose true allegiance remains uncertain. With the JLA dismissing his warnings as paranoia, Aquaman must act alone, pushing his resolve to the limit in a mission that tests both his leadership and his faith in the people he hopes to save. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Jim Calafiore, with inks by Peter Palmiotti, colors by Tom McCraw, and letters by Dan Nakrosis, this 1996 issue features a cover by Jim Calafiore and Peter Palmiotti.
