I've told this story so many times and every time I've said it was ''Sub Mariner'' #29 and I recently moved and found a copy of the comic, and it's actually ''Sub Mariner'' #30. It has Captain Marvel standing knee-high in water and yelling at the Sub Mariner on the beach and it almost looks like a ''True Romance'' comic. }}</ref>
