Teen Titans #29
 (On Sale: July 16, 1970) has a cover by
 Nick Cardy.

 The book-length "Captives" is by Steve Skeates and Nick Cardy. Continuing from last issue, after Aqualad's failed encounter with Ocean Master, he is left for dead. Voting to forego their vow against using their powers and costumes for the duration of the present case, the Titans track down Aqualad in time to rescue him. 

Hawk and Dove pursue a lead on their own, returning to Sharon Tracy's apartment. When the thugs who had attacked Sharon earlier return. Dove recruits the other Titans to help out, but both Hawk and Dove are nevertheless captured by Ocean Master and held prisoner in his undersea headquarters. 

Hawk awakens in Ocean Master's hide-out, finding he and Dove are captives. Dove explains that Ocean Master is working with aliens. The brothers escape their bonds and start a fight with Ocean Master and his alien allies. The other Titans, who trail them to Ocean Master's hideaway,  help them overcome the invaders. 

The Titans agree to redon their costumes only in cases of extreme emergency, and Aqualad, reconciled with his teammates, returns to Atlantis. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: Teen Titans Vol. 2 TPB.
