Re-experience the beginning of Peter David's iconic run on Aquaman, which shaped the life of Atlantis' most famous citizen for years to come, in AQUAMAN BY PETER DAVID BOOK ONE. Here begins Arthur Curry's recollection of the epic journey that led him to become the mythical superhero we know as Aquaman. Since his dramatic debut in the 1940s, Aquaman has gone from admired hero to legendary icon. Able to breathe in both air and water, the King of the Seven Seas has fought villainy from the deepest depths of the oceans to the outer limits of the galaxy. He is unquestionably one of the greatest heroes the world has ever seen, but his rise to power was not easy. Collects AQUAMAN: TIME AND TIDE #1-4 and AQUAMAN #0-8, as well as a new introduction by Peter David.

Aquaman has faced many challenges in his long career, but none greater than this, as the undersea kingdom of Atlantis comes under siege by unknown captors and Atlantean mercenaries. Aquaman himself is taken prisoner by these same revolutionaries, and now he must save himself as well as the aquatic land of his ancestors.

Four stories integral to Aquaman's past! Superman guest-stars as Triton unleashes his fury against the Sea King; Aquaman must aid a young Princess Diana when she is 'chosen' by Triton; Arthur Curry takes Mera to her first encounter with air breathers; and when Aquaman's first son is born, the god Poseidon shows Aquaman who's really King of the Seas!

Plus, the sea changes in Atlantean society since 'The Obsidian Age' have unexpected consequences, and Profile Pages detail the history of Aquaman, his new powers, his friends, and his foes! NOTE: the 'Family Ties' story is not included here.

Go back to the unusual beginnings of Arthur Curry, from the meeting of his parents, to his growth from a boy with the power to wander the oceans of the world and control the creatures of the seas, to his often-turbulent life as the aquatic hero Aquaman!

AQUAMAN: THE ATLANTIS CHRONICLES DELUXE EDITION tells of Orin and Shalako, their descendants, and how a once-great civilization rose and fell like the tides, producing heroes and villains and culminating in the birth of the man who would grow to become the King and champion–Aquaman. When the continent of Atlantis was struck by a meteor, the surviving cities of Poseidonis and Tritonis used an unusual combination of science and magic to protect the people. While King Orin had faith in the science that let his people thrive underwater, his brother, King Shalako, rejected science in favor of worshipping dark powers, setting up a conflict that would mark all who followed. Only Aquaman can resolve the clashing of the two cities! Collecting THE ATLANTIS CHRONICLES #1-7, this sprawling generational saga is written by Peter David (AQUAMAN, YOUNG JUSTICE, SUPERGIRL) and illustrated by the Spanish artist Esteban Maroto (AMETHYST, ZATANNA, Creepy, Eerie).

When a suicide bomber in Middle America is revealed as an Atlantean sleeper agent seemingly gone rogue, the Aquamen-Arthur Curry and Jackson Hyde-are on the case. But it soon becomes clear that the tragedy was not just a single bad actor, but the beginnings of a much larger and more dangerous chain reaction…and the heart of an explosive Atlantean conspiracy! If Arthur's not careful, the secrets he's keeping-from Mera, Tula, Tempest, Atlantis, the surface, and even Jackson-could cause a rift from which the Aquamen might never recover! Collects Aquamen #1-6.

Meet the members of Atlantis's ruling court and learn how intrigue and romance led to an unexpected attack that brought the wrath of the gods down upon them. Writer Peter David reimagines the sinking of the lost city!
