Owner's Description

Issue #94 features the first appearance of Merlyn, Arthur King. Our WP 9.8 comes from the Twin Cities Pedigree and is one of the three highest graded examples. We acquired the book from a friend and fellow collector in a private transaction in May 2020.

In the story, Batman, Green Arrow, and Aquaman are on the trail of members of the League of Assassins, and the Sensei, the leader of the League, assigns Merlyn the Archer to kill one of them. Merlyn's special weapons put Superman and the Atom out of action temporarily while he goes about his mission.

When Aquaman passes out from lack of water, Batman realizes that something is amiss, but before he can investigate further, he and Green Arrow are attacked by Merlyn. Although Batman is the assigned target (since, as the JLA later discovers, the League of Assassins is connected with Ra's al Ghul, Batman's arch-foe), Merlyn also has an old score to settle with GA. Attempting to accomplish both goals at once, he fails, but manages to escape. After the other JLA members leave, Batman reveals to "Aquaman" that he knows that the Sea King is being inhabited by Deadman, the spirit who lives by possessing others' bodies. Deadman had learned of the planned attempt on Batman's life and had taken over Aquaman's identity to warn him.
