Aquaman, Vol. 5 Annual

Pulp Heroes, this year's DC Annuals event, continues with three tales of hard-boiled undersea suspense.

Written by Peter David, with art by Marty Egeland and Howard M. Shum. Next, in a story by William Messner-Loebs with art by Kirk Van Wormer and John Lowe, Aquaman has infiltrated an underworld/underwater mob to save his son, Koryak. But which one is Aquaman, and how far will he go? And finally, clues on the body of a dead woman, whose feet are encased in cement, lead Aquaman to search for his first love. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, with art by Anthony Williams and Lanning. Painted cover by Laurel Bleckman. 68 pages. Cover price $3.95. Cover price $3.95.
