More Fun Comics #73 - 1st Aquaman, Green Arrow

More Fun Comics #73

More Fun Comics v1 #73, 1941 - Although not featured on the cover, two major DC characters make their first appearances in this issue. Aquaman rescues the survivors of a Nazi submarine attack, then proceeds to tell them his origin story before. Using his telepathic rapport with sea creatures, he eventually hunts down the perpetrators. In a separate tale, Green Arrow and Speedy hunt down a masked man who kills the namesakes of famous historical figures. Interestingly, the writing gives no indication that this is their first caper. Both stories were written by Mort Wesinger. This golden age issue also features Spectre, Johnny Quick and Doctor Fate. Aquaman's origin was later reprinted in Secret Origins v2 #7. /// key 1st appearance, 1st origin Arthur Curry as Aquaman, 1st appearance Oliver Queen as Green Arrow, Roy Harper as Speedy
