“The Plot to Steal the Seas” written and illustrated by Nick Cardy — Aquaman and Aqualad find themselves stranded on an alien world after their spaceship crashes, forcing them to survive against hostile alien creatures while finding a way back to Earth. The story exemplifies the Silver Age tendency to transplant water-based heroes into outer space scenarios, complete with Cardy's dynamic figure work and alien world designs.
Part of the early Silver Age run where DC experimented with taking Aquaman beyond his oceanic comfort zone, reflecting the space race era's influence on superhero comics.
