Aquaman #1
Aquaman #1 (1976) kicks off with a gripping tale titled "Teil 1: Aquaman jagt grosse Fische," setting the stage for a high-stakes clash between brother and king. Written by Paul Levitz and Gerry Conway, and brought to life by Jim Aparo’s dynamic art and Carl Gafford’s vivid colors, this issue introduces a fractured Aquaman—deposed and exiled—forced to confront his brother Orm, who seeks the powerful Serum-X. The cover by Jim Aparo captures the tension perfectly, marking a bold new chapter in the underwater legacy.
In "Teil 2: Ehre oder Tod," Aquaman faces a desperate test of loyalty when his brother Orm demands the Serum-X that could let humans breathe underwater—just as Arthur Curry, now deposed and exiled, struggles to reclaim his throne and prove his worth to both surface and sea.
In "Toxxins Todeskommando," Aquaman, Mera, and their son Arthur Jr. find themselves in the Aquacave after being exiled from Atlantis. When Aquaman and Mera are captured by Toxxin, the enigmatic leader of a secluded underwater society, they’re drawn into a desperate belief: a colossal plant is poisoning their world, and only a sacrifice—Mera’s—can end the threat.
Aquaman – "Extra – Der erste Aquaman" follows an unnamed scientist and explorer who harnesses the lost science of ancient Atlantis to grant his son the ability to breathe underwater and other extraordinary powers, setting him on a path to defend the world from hidden threats. Written with a timeless sense of wonder, the story blends early superhero adventure with mythic undertones, showcasing a father’s legacy and a son’s emerging destiny beneath the waves.
