Product Description:
Since his dramatic debut in the 1940s, Aquaman has battled the forces of evil using his super-strength and his abilities to breathe underwater and communicate with and mentally control sea life.
This fantastic, value-sized collection features over 500 pages of classic, black-and-white adventures of the King of the Seven Seas and his sidekick, Aqualad, as they battle menaces from the deepest depths of the ocean to the outer limits of the galaxy.

I'm sure that some people are interested in how this collection fares to absolutely new readers as opposed to people who have read this more than 20 years ago. The stories are cheesy and filled with utter nonsense, such as Aquaman commanding Octopi to row a boat or having eels straighten themselves into makeshift stretchers. However, these stories are fun to read and never last long enough to wear out their welcome. All in all, I would recommend this to people not looking for comics that are too ... Read More

I never was a big Aquaman fan. but I enjoyed reading vol.1 of this Showcase entry. The stories are quick and fun. Art by Ramona Fradon and Nick Cardy add to the enjoyment. Aqualad nevers seems to know what's going on. You'll breeze through this volume. Another fine DC Showcase silver age entry.

I come from the later generation where Aquaman is considered a rather lame superhero and the butt of many jokes. I bought this because I wanted to see if Aquaman was a better hero in the early days. Nope!
The guy can command fish, but all the people in Atlantis can do the same thing, so there is nothing unique about his powers. What he commands his fish to do is beyond ridiculous. Octopi boxing bad guys, eels forming everything from ladders to lassos, illuminated fish acting as spotlights, ... Read More

I didn't start reading Aquaman until the mid-1960s, so these stories are more history than memory to me. Still, it's a good package, and you just can't go wrong with the work of Nick Cardy. Advisory: there are virtually no female characters of any kind in this volume, so it's not a prime item for collectors of Cardy Women.
