Aquaman #48
In "A Kingdom to Re-Build!", Aquaman returns to Atlantis after rescuing Aqualad from the Bugala, only to find the city torn by civil war. With Mera at his side, he confronts the rebel leader Narkran and fights to reclaim the throne he once lost. Written by Steve Skeates and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Aparo—pencils, inks, colors, and letters all by the same hand—this 1969 classic showcases a pivotal moment in Aquaman’s reign. The cover, by Nick Cardy, captures the epic scale of the underwater conflict.
