COMICS • COLLECTOR GUIDES
Aquaman is Arthur Curry, a DC hero of both the surface world and Atlantis whose abilities connect him to the oceans and Atlantean civilisation. His modern films expand that premise into underwater kingdoms, dynastic conflict and large-scale fantasy adventure.
Start with the essential comics, follow the character through the movie library, then continue into related stories and live shop inventory.
Arthur Curry is the son of a human father and Atlantean mother, giving him a place in both the surface world and the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. Gifted with immense strength, aquatic abilities and a telepathic connection to marine life, he grows into Aquaman and ultimately accepts the responsibilities of an Atlantean ruler and protector of the oceans.
