About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the 1990s Aquaman storyline 'Deadly Waters,' written by Peter David with art by Jim Calafiore and others. The story follows Arthur Curry as he faces a devastating threat to Atlantis and his family, including the return of his villainous brother Orm. This edition includes restored pages, a new cover, and behind-the-scenes material from the acclaimed run.

In "As the Seas Die," Aquaman faces a terrifying new threat as a mysterious green slime spreads from Lake Erie toward Detroit. Investigating with his old ally Don Powers—once the vigilante known as the Crusader, now blind but still determined to fight crime—Aquaman uncovers a shocking connection to a satellite meant to prevent crime, but which may be the source of the spreading menace. Written by Steve Skeates and illustrated with gritty precision by Jim Aparo, this story blends urban mystery with aquatic dread, while Nick Cardy’s striking cover captures the tension of a city on the brink.
