The SpongeBob Comics Swimtacular celebrates the submarine superheroics of SpongeBob's idols, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, in forty-eight all-new pages! First, bear witness to a reunion of Mermaid Man's Golden Age team, the Aquatic Adventurers, in a story we could only call 'Lo, There Shall Be a Catered Event,' featuring funky flashbacks by Jerry Ordway (Superman)! Then, SpongeBob and Patrick's game of superheroes goes from silly to sillier, when they encounter the quiet-loving super-fiend known only as Mendu! Who could this green, big-nosed, tentacled villain possibly be? Next, legendary Silver Age artist Ramona Fradon (Metamorpho) returns to SpongeBob Comics to draw the never-before-seen Mermaid Man classic 'Sidekick Blues,' featuring the sinister Controlling Conch and the rarely sighted Edwardian Age Mermaid Man. All this plus a tour of the Mermalair, Plankton and Gary's brief super-careers, spoofs of classic comic book ads, and a double-page spread depicting every Bikini Bottom superhero and villain!

Next in 'The Scheme of the Sinister Submersible,' Mermaid Man-armed only with lame party tricks-must rescue that famous aquatic wizard the Divining Diver from the depths of Damp Dimension! Then read along with Patrick and SpongeBob as they make their way through a Dangers & Dead Ends Pick-Your-Own-Predicament book - 'The Monster Boat of Frighfulness!' All this brought to you wrapped in a Jacob Chabot cover that's a veritable handbook of advanced hilarity! 48 pages, full color. Cover price $4.99.

Why are SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs starring in a Bikini Bottom mashup of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, Moby-Dick, and more maritime masterpieces? It's simple: The dread Censor Ship has ordered SpongeBob Comics' creative crew, the United Plankton pirates, to clean up their act - or walk the plank! Henceforth, all SpongeBob Comics must be educational and literary, to boot! But as SpongeBob and friends go on their highfalutin' quest through a bunch of literary rip-offs-er, homages, the true spirit of SpongeBob sneaks its way into the narrative - in the form of Patrick and SpongeBob's new silly Squishy Dance! 48 pages, full color.
