Great Aquaman Classic Comic Collection; DC Showcase Aquaman Vol.1

   DC Showcase's Aquaman Vol.1 collects classic Black and white reprints of Silver Age Aquaman
stories and guest appearances originally published from 1959 to 1962. The include stories from ADVENTURE COMICS #260-280, 282 and 284 and more! Over 500 pages highlighting classic tales of Aquaman, featuring the debut of Aqualad!
  This trade paperback came out in Feb. 2007 and is out of print. It's a great collection though. I learned that before Aquaman got his own comic book he was in quite a number of other ones. - It's a fun look back at the character and the stories reflect much simpler times when Aquaman patrolled the seas for crime instead of getting involved with royal politics of Atlantis (which he only dealt with in one story here).  -Rob
