About this Collection

This deluxe hardcover collects the classic 1970s storyline that saw Aquaman face the tragic loss of his infant son, Arthur Jr., at the hands of Black Manta. Featuring work by writers Steve Skeates and David Michelinie, along with artists Jim Aparo and Dick Giordano, the volume gathers material from Adventure Comics and Aquaman solo issues, including the iconic 'Death of a Prince' arc. It also includes a new introduction by writer Dan Jurgens and a gallery of behind-the-scenes material.

In "As the Undersea City Sleeps," Aquaman faces a chilling revelation when he uncovers the true identity of Karshon—long thought to be a mere threat, now exposed as The Shark, a notorious Green Lantern villain with a personal vendetta. With Mera and Arthur Jr. trapped and the clock ticking, Aquaman must survive a deadly one-hour hunt through the depths, where every shadow could be a trap and every breath could be his last. Written by Paul Levitz and brought to life with masterful art by Jim Aparo—pencils, inks, and colors all by the legendary hand of Aparo—this Deluxe Edition captures the tension and tragedy of a king pushed to his limits.
