Story Notes
A letter from Harry (Aquaboy) Endersby of Fort Lauderdale, Florida announces he and friends call themselves "Aquaboys" when swimming. And how about an Aquaboy companion for Aquaman like Robin and Speedy? The editor replies, "Not bad... We'll take it up with the editor-in-chief."
Aquaman's Double Trouble!
Storyline
Aquaman is repeatedly torn between dilemmas to save sea life, submarines, sinking ships, and more. Each time he makes a difficult choice, he finds the other choice was saved by an old seafarer who leaves three mysterious holes at every scene. When Aquaman himself is saved, the old man reveals he's King Neptune - with his three-pointed trident. Neptune retired when a new "King of the Sea" arrived - Aquaman!
