Aquaman Books
AQUAMAN: THE ATLANTIS CHRONICLES DELUXE EDITION tells of Orin and Shalako, their descendants, and how a once-great civilization rose and fell like the tides, producing heroes and villains and culminating in the birth of the man who would grow to become the King and champion–Aquaman. When the continent of Atlantis was struck by a meteor, the surviving cities of Poseidonis and Tritonis used an unusual combination of science and magic to protect the people. While King Orin had faith in the science that let his people thrive underwater, his brother, King Shalako, rejected science in favor of worshipping dark powers, setting up a conflict that would mark all who followed. Only Aquaman can resolve the clashing of the two cities! Collecting THE ATLANTIS CHRONICLES #1-7, this sprawling generational saga is written by Peter David (AQUAMAN, YOUNG JUSTICE, SUPERGIRL) and illustrated by the Spanish artist Esteban Maroto (AMETHYST, ZATANNA, Creepy, Eerie ).
Re-experience the beginning of Peter David's iconic run on Aquaman, which shaped the life of Atlantis' most famous citizen for years to come, in AQUAMAN BY PETER DAVID BOOK ONE. Here begins Arthur Curry's recollection of the epic journey that led him to become the mythical superhero we know as Aquaman. Since his dramatic debut in the 1940s, Aquaman has gone from admired hero to legendary icon. Able to breathe in both air and water, the King of the Seven Seas has fought villainy from the deepest depths of the oceans to the outer limits of the galaxy. He is unquestionably one of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen, but his rise to power was not easy. Collects AQUAMAN: TIME AND TIDE #1-4 and AQUAMAN #0-8, as well as a new introduction by Peter David.
When the king of Atlantis dies, the citizens look to their former ruler Aquaman for leadership. But the undersea civilization that he and Dolphin return to is falling apart. The people are fleeing the capital city of Poseidonis as mysterious forces lift it ever closer to the surface. Aquaman must undo the damage or else the environmental impact of the rising city could be catastrophic--not only for Atlantis, but for the surface world as well! Plus, the much anticipated return of Mera, Aquaman's long estranged wife. But what will she make of her husband's new relationship with Dolphin?

Califiore and more, these tales also feature guest-appearances from Justice Leaguers Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman!
