Arthur Curry was child born of two worlds. His mother was a princess of Atlantis, and his father was a humble lighthouse keeper. From his mother, Arthur inherited the ability to breathe under water, communicate with sea life, and withstand tremendous underwater pressures. From his father, Arthur learned to respect all creatures on the land and sea. As an adult, Arthur became Aquaman, defender of the ocean and mediator between Atlantis and the surface world. Marking Aquaman's early Silver Age appearances, this volume is the perfect starting point for fans of Arthur Curry's retconned continuity that established him as the ruler of Atlantis and expanded his supporting cast to include Aqualad, Mera, Topo the octopus, and more. Softcover, 624 pages, full color.
