Space Adventures #11
"Interplanetary Safari!" kicks off with the Navy submarine R-93 plunging too deep—only to be rescued by the fishmen of Atlantis, led by Queen Shar-La and her subjects Lor-Shim, Ssil-Il, and Fen-Ac. When the Atlanteans face extinction due to a cooling ocean, Captain Small, Huey, and Robert Crane help restore their failing city by harnessing the submarine’s atomic engines. As Shar-La prepares to marry Crane, tensions rise when Elder Valyon stirs rebellion. Sy Moskowitz handles both pencils and inks for the interior, while Steve Ditko delivers the striking cover art.

The Navy submarine R-93 dives. Something goes wrong and it goes too deep. Captain Small, Huey, and Robert Crane are rescued by fishmen from the city of Atlantis. The fishmen are Lor-Shim, Ssil-Il, and Fen-Ac. Shar-La is queen of the domed city of Atlantis. She explains to Robert that the Atlanteans are faced with extinction due to the cooling of the ocean. The crew help the Atlantians with their non-functioning technology by hooking up the nuclear submarine's atomic engines. They get the city running again. Shar-La plans to marry Crane, but Elder Valyon starts a revolt against the pairing.
