☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects Aquaman stories from the late 1960s and early 1970s, featuring the Sea King's adventures alongside allies like Mera and Aqualad, as well as his battles with foes such as the Ocean Master and the Fisherman. As part of DC's Showcase Presents line, it presents the material in a black-and-white format, offering a budget-friendly way to explore this era of the character's history. The collection includes issues from Aquaman's original series and related appearances from the period.
In "Aquabeast the Abominable," Peter Dudley's desperate bid to win Mera’s love takes a monstrous turn when a surgical experiment meant to transform him into a double of Aquaman goes horribly awry, leaving him as a twisted, amphibious creature. Now hunted and haunted by his own creation, the Aquabeast is driven by obsession and pain as he kidnaps Mera, leading to a tragic confrontation with the vengeful Hammuri.
In "Between Two Dooms!", Aquaman finds himself caught between two enemies when Black Manta launches a brutal assault on Atlantis. With Aquaman captured, Ocean Master steps in, determined to settle the score alone—only to have Aquababy caught in the crossfire as the two rivals clash.
In "How to Kill a Sea King!", Aquaman is drawn into a dangerous web when the enigmatic alien femme fatale Aliena convinces him to unearth the mysterious substance utrium from the ocean floor. As secrets from an ancient alien police force surface, their fragile alliance begins to unravel—especially when Aliena finds herself torn between her mission and her growing feelings for the sea king.
