Aquaman #40
In "Doctor In The House," Aquaman faces a new threat when the enigmatic Doctor Polaris stirs chaos in the city, testing the hero's resolve in ways he hasn't faced before. As Aquaman attempts to reach through Polaris’s mind, an unexpected interference from Dolphin throws the effort into chaos—just as Maxima makes her dramatic entrance. Written by Peter David and brought to life by Jim Calafiore’s dynamic art, with inks by Peter Palmiotti and Vince Giarrano, this 1998 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash with a touch of the surreal. The cover by Jim Calafiore and Peter Palmiotti captures the moment with sharp precision.
