Aquaman
Few characters in DC's vast ocean of heroes have proven as enduringly vital as Aquaman, who made his Silver Age catalog debut in Adventure Comics #250 in 1958, brought to life by Joe Millard and the incomparable Ramona Fradon. Over nearly seven decades of publication, he's accumulated 644 appearances and an impressive 20 key issues that collectors prize — a testament to a character who has never stopped making waves. His world is rarefied company indeed: the pages he inhabits are shared with titans like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Bruce Wayne, and Clark Kent, and his most frequent stomping grounds include Justice League of America, Detective Comics, and Super Friends. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just diving in, Aquaman's sheer longevity and the caliber of the legends he stands alongside make him one of DC's most rewarding characters to explore.

- Aquaman has been overhauled so many times across the decades — with writers swapping out his parentage, upbringing, and even his name — that his continuity stands as one of the most notoriously tangled in comics.captaincomics.ning.com
- Gardner Fox has written more of Aquaman's comics than any other writer in our catalog — 37 issues.
