Man from Atlantis

Marvel’s Man from Atlantis (1978–present) adapts the short-lived TV series into a seven-issue comic, with Bill Mantlo scripting and Frank Robbins and Sal Buscema on art. The series follows the aquatic amnesiac hero as he surfaces in the modern world, occasionally crossing paths with Peter Parker—better known as Spider-Man—in a brief but memorable team-up. A curious footnote in Marvel’s late-1970s output, it captures the era’s appetite for TV-to-comic adaptations and underwater adventure.
