Aquaman #33

Featuring the first appearance of Aquagirl! An Atlantean girl named Tula convinces Aqualad to leave Atlantis. The pair leaves together and finds an underwater dance club where they perform as dancers. But the club's owner holds a shady secret!On patrol, Aquaman and Aqualad are on hand to rescue the passengers of a jet, which has crashed into the ocean. While Aqualad maintains the morale of the passengers through song, Aquaman gets a signal to the Coast Guard. Aquaman spends a few moments basking in the media coverage generated by the rescue, before returning to Atlantis. News of the rescue has even reached the fabled underwater city, and so, Aquaman receives a hero's welcome from the Atlanteans, and his wife, Mera. Aqualad, dejected at the lack of acknowledgement he gets as Aquaman's sidekick, sullenly wanders the streets of Atlantis. Suddenly, he is accosted, and kissed by, a beautiful young Atlantean girl. She is Tula, a childhood friend of Aqualad's, all grown up now. Tula convinces Aqualad that the two of them should set out together, to make their own mark on the seven seas, away from Aquaman, Mera, and Atlantis. Tula fashions herself a costume, and Aqualad dubs her "Aquachick". The two aquatic teenagers approach Aquaman and Mera, on the throne, and declare their intention to leave. Mera is outraged at their audacity, but Aquaman, reluctantly, lets them go. As the two teen adventures reach coastal waters, they discover "Dr. Dorsal's Deep Six Discotheque", an underwater go-go dance club for teenagers. The adolescent patrons party for as long as their oxygen supply holds out, then return to the surface. Aqualad and Tula hit the dance "floor", attracting the attention of the establishment's owner, Dr. Dorsal. Recognizing them as Atlanteans, Dr. Dorsal offers the pair jobs as house dancers in his club. The two readily accept. Dr. Dorsal also reveals that he, too, is a water breather, though not Atlantean, only pretending to be a surface dweller, so as not to alarm...
