Book Description

LOST AT SEA More than four decades ago, Aquaman faced his gratest challenge—and endured his darkest hour. As the king of Atlantis, Arthur Curry is committed to safeguarding his people and their underwater realm. But as a member of the Justice League, he must also honor his pledge to protect those who dwell on the suface world. The burden of these competing responsibilities weighs heavily on his shoulders—and never more so than in these drama-filled tales from the 1970s! Presented for the first time in a single hardcover volume, these classic stories follow Arthur's journey as he loses his throne to a challenger, leaving him to fight alone through a gauntlet of his most deadly enemies—and his closest friends—in a desperate quest to reunite with his wife Mera and save the life of their infant son. But when he finally comes face to face with the villain who forever alters his life, will Aquaman choose mercy...or murder? Crafted by an all-star team of comics luminaries—including writers Paul Levitz, David Micehllnie, Steve Skeates, and Paul Kupperberg and artists Jim Aparo, Don Newton, and Mike Grell—Aquaman: The Death of a Prince Deluxe Edition collects more than 300 pages of undersea action from the pages of Adventure Comics #435-437 and #441-455 and Aquaman #57-63, and features a new introduction by Levitz.
