From the superlative Steve Eptings run that featured Arthur and Mera in Skartaris, the world of Warlord. Aquaman and Mera argue with Travis Morgan a.k.a. Warlord about leadership and worthiness as a foe approaches.
This piece was published in Oct. 2000 and is from volume five of the Aquaman series.
There's a great sense of scale in panels one, two, and four. The sense of scale adds to the urgency that's in the dialogue. You can see the men's contempt for each other in the final two panels.
Eptin & Jurgens run on the series ended with issue #75 and afterward Epting left D.C. to return to Marvel.
