Aquaman

DC · 1994–2001 · 77 issues
About the series

From 1994 to 2001, DC Comics redefined Aquaman in a 77-issue series that stripped away the character's long-standing jokes and gave him a gritty, modern edge. Most closely associated with writer Peter David and artist Jim Calafiore, this run saw Arthur Curry lose a hand, grow a iconic beard, and reclaim his throne as a fierce, commanding king of Atlantis. The series deepened Aquaman's mythology, balancing epic underwater politics with raw personal struggle, and remains a pivotal era that reshaped the hero for a new generation.
