Aquaman: The Death of a Prince Deluxe Edition

Description

A can't-miss classic of Aquaman's defining moments - This dramatic tale from the 1970's features many of Aquaman's greatest enemies, and his greatest tragedy! 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.

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?
