Black Manta - from the Filmation series: The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure
The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure is a Filmation animated series that aired on CBS from 1967 to 1968. Premiering on September 9, 1967, this 60-minute program included a series of six-minute adventures featuring various DC Comics superheroes.
Each episode consisted of new segments from the existing series, The New Adventures of Superman and The Adventures of Superboy, as well as outings for Aquaman and his sidekick Aqualad.
It also included a rotating series of "guest star" cartoons featuring the Atom, the Flash and Kid Flash, the Green Lantern, Hawkman and new shorts from The Adventures of Superboy. The Justice League of America (Atom, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Aquaman and Superman) and Teen Titans (Speedy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, and Aqualad, but not Robin) were also featured in team adventures.
Black Manta appeared in the very first of 36 Aquaman episodes entitled: "Menace of the Black Manta" where Aquaman and Aqualad must stop Black Manta's attempt to sink a mid-ocean luxury liner.
Black Manta was built on a ZICA S body; Castaway gloves and boots; Mattel Black Manta air tank; head enlarged from a Super Friends Black Manta figure; paints and suit by yours truly.
