Years 1957–1962 of DC Finest: Aquaman
Long Live The King!
Arthur Curry was a 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 underwater, 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 meditator 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 revised origin that established him as the ruler of Atlantis and expanded his supporting cast to include Aqualad, Mera, Topo the octopus, and more.
