Silver Age Comic Trivia XIII

Under what group name did Bull Brogin, "Handsome" Harry Phillips and Yogi Dakor operate?

Yesterday's Answer: Aquaman's father was of course Tom Curry, lighthouse keeper (not to be confused with 'light housekeeper,' which would be something entirely different!). Tom had a son with Atlanna, citizen of undersea Atlantis, whom they named Arthur Curry (later to be known as Aquaman). This dual heritage explains why Aquaman is able to breathe both water and air, as well as some of his affinity for denizens of the deep. After Atlanna died, Tom married a land lubber and they had a son, named Orm. As an adult, Orm would demonstrate his jealousy toward his half-brother Arthur by becoming his arch foe, the Ocean Master.
