Steve Skeates makes an effort to drag the Sea King out of Silver Age and plant him firmly in the Bronze by tightening the book's continuity and giving the reader multi-issue stories。And yet - even when pulled together in this beautiful collected edition - feel curiously disjointed。 Almost as if Aquaman himself were a piece of literary flotsam， drifting aimlessly from adventure to adventure。The art by Jim Aparo is， as always， solid and lovely to look at。An 'A' for effort， but the overall effect i Steve Skeates makes an effort to drag the Sea King out of Silver Age and plant him firmly in the Bronze by tightening the book's continuity and giving the reader multi-issue stories。And yet - even when pulled together in this beautiful collected edition - feel curiously disjointed。 Almost as if Aquaman himself were a piece of literary flotsam， drifting aimlessly from adventure to adventure。The art by Jim Aparo is， as always， solid and lovely to look at。An 'A' for effort， but the overall effect is no higher than a 'C' （No pun intended）。 。。。more

Average but better continuation of Skeates/Aparo run， plot still feels forced and nothing particularly interesting happens overly， but at least you can see that Skeates understands the characters better。 Also Aparo's art is as good as always。 - 5/10 Average but better continuation of Skeates/Aparo run， plot still feels forced and nothing particularly interesting happens overly， but at least you can see that Skeates understands the characters better。 Also Aparo's art is as good as always。 - 5/10 。。。more

Aparo's art is fantastic as usual， and Skeates's imaginative stories quite different from， say， the Superman of the day。 Still， nothing is very interesting， and I found the Adams Deadman stories to break the flow of the issue's headliners。 Lots of 1960s vibes here， which is cool， and Nick Cardy's covers are a treat。 Aparo's art is fantastic as usual， and Skeates's imaginative stories quite different from， say， the Superman of the day。 Still， nothing is very interesting， and I found the Adams Deadman stories to break the flow of the issue's headliners。 Lots of 1960s vibes here， which is cool， and Nick Cardy's covers are a treat。 。。。more

The last stretch of Aquaman's Silver Age run gets a nice hardcover full-color treatment — too bad the earlier Bob Haney/Nick Cardy era doesn't get the same （it's probably my favorite Aquaman stretch）。Following a big arc involving Aquaman hunting a missing Mera， this has the Sea King sucked into a strange alien world， battling his old foe the crime cartel O。G。R。E。 and a deranged millionaire who thinks he can preserve his waterfront home by nuking Atlantis。 Deadman， of all people， shows up too。The The last stretch of Aquaman's Silver Age run gets a nice hardcover full-color treatment — too bad the earlier Bob Haney/Nick Cardy era doesn't get the same （it's probably my favorite Aquaman stretch）。Following a big arc involving Aquaman hunting a missing Mera， this has the Sea King sucked into a strange alien world， battling his old foe the crime cartel O。G。R。E。 and a deranged millionaire who thinks he can preserve his waterfront home by nuking Atlantis。 Deadman， of all people， shows up too。The stories are fun， but I really hate that Mera — a full crimefighting partner when Haney was writing the book — does nothing but wring her hands and worry （I blame editor Dick Giordano as it started when he took over）。 Aparo's art is dynamic and in some of the weirder sequences seems to be channeling Steve Ditko on Dr。 Strange。 。。。more

1960s psychodelic stories and art from a creative team that seems to be having a lot of fun telling off the rails stories in and totally out of the water。 Aparo and Adams separate artwork are real hilights here。
