Grant Morrison’s 90’s JLA features Aquaman as a primary member, and includes some memorable moments for the character. I expect that much like Mark Waid’s Flash, and Peter David’s own Supergirl and Young Justice, that Aquaman is next in line for some nice reprints of the long Peter David run on the character throughout the decade.Ĭollects: Aquaman #7 to #13 (1991 series)Ĭollects: Aquaman: Time and Tide #1 to #4Ĭollects: The Atlantis Chronicles #1 to #7Īquaman 90’s Solo Series by Peter David(1994 to 2001)Ĭollects: Aquaman: Time And Tide #1-4 And Aquaman #0-8Ĭollects: Aquaman #21 to #34, Annual #2 – #3
