Aquaman: The Legend of Aquaman #[nn]

In "The Legend of Aquaman," a young boy with golden hair—marked by fate and abandoned on Mercy Reef—defies the odds, surviving alone in the ocean until he's rescued by lighthouse keeper Arthur Curry, who gives him a name and a home. This foundational tale, written by Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming and illustrated by Curt Swan with inks by Eric Shanower, traces the origins of the man who would become king of Atlantis, from his isolated beginnings to his eventual return to claim his destiny. The cover by Curt Swan and Al Vey captures the mythic weight of a hero’s first steps.
