The miniseries 1986, Aquaman made famous by the dancer's costume that looked the hero. He was one of the many attempts made to popular publisher a character who has never finished curdle among readers. It is also one of the few titles of this eternal second fiddle to the Justice League have been published in Spain. He did Ediciones Zinco many years ago and, well, let's say this article is dedicated to carrozones the DCU on the loose out there. Planning return
In 1984, Dick Giordano , vice president of DC Comics, the publisher offered Neal Pozner the possibility of renewing any character at that time had no series own. The idea was to find the reasons why the hero in question was not as popular as Superman or Batman, and from there, do everything possible to become a star. Pozner thought Aquaman after ruling out other characters, so the thing that was already on the wrong foot.
After a long process of reflection, came up with some ideas which he presented to Giordano. Including modernization of the uniform, which had not changed and never enjoyed no iconic value, the new design was inspired by the costume of the Russian painter Léon Nikolayevich Bakst designed for the famous dancer Nijinsky
of Balé Russian. He also wanted to delve into the history and geography of Atlantis and Aquaman put on adventures under the water because, he says, when he was in the area lost much of its potential. Giordano insisted that Pozner wrote the scripts for the series. For the picture, the publisher rejected a British newcomer to the United States called Alan Davis, who take charge Batman and the Outsiders . The choice was finally Craig Hamilton, who would be able to capture the price required Pozner's script. The next step was to use Atlantis as a backdrop for the eternal fight between Aquaman and Ocean Master , his brother and arch enemy since the sixties. Although we've talked about the history of both around here, it goes without saying that the embodiment chosen was the pre crisis because there was no intention to renew for the event. Aquaman, or Arthur Curry, was the son of a lighthouse keeper and Atlanna of Atlantis. Hybrid origin powers he gave always caused the envy of Orm, the son of the lighthouse keeper and a human with whom he married after the death of Atlanna. While Arthur was enjoying the attention of his father, Orm was relegated to a second life embittered him and took him to swear revenge. With that perspective and with the rich mythology of Atlantis as a backdrop, beginning in February 1986, this miniseries that would deepen in their enmity.
Mera Aquaman and his wife lived at that time in Venice (California), a city that swept the Master of the Ocean
powers that had not previously had. Traditionally, the villain had for their crimes with weapons of all kinds and how strange. However, Arthur would not have time to reflect because it required Vulk , the king of Atlantis. After the last contact with the surface world, his people were concerned about changes that did not quite assimilated and to finish complicate matters, someone had stolen an artifact called Royal Seal. Arthur gave Vulk a camouflage outfit to travel to the sister city of Na Orge Thierno, magicians whose inhabitants appeared to have committed the robbery. On the way, the protagonist was captured. Orge In Thierno Na, met Nuada's sister, the queen of the city and former monarch herself. Also there was a theft, in his case it was the Lia Fail , object pointing to its bearer as sovereign, and Nuada was suspect. After fighting to death with a local monster named
Sreng , Aquaman and his new friend fled the city in search of the two devices. On the way, the hosts were confronted with Ocean of Love, which turned out to be the thief. After much digging, the evil Orm had found in an ancient Atlantean library parchment which spoke of six glasses that contained the old magic of his nation, among them were the Royal Seal and the Lia Fail. Gradually, the gathering was to become a powerful wizard. After recounting the origin Nuada, his brother and his eternal enmity, Aquaman decided to stop at the level of magic
help of his new friend. In the end, was the love of Arthur who destroyed his brother, who lost and gave him the power of crystals. consequences.
The truth is that the miniseries had little impact well beyond the most superficial, ie, the new Aquaman uniform. And not long before out of the way, of course, happened in 1988 Aquaman Special. Pozner was detailed to redirect the source of Arthur and his brother to give them a great consistency, and that the publisher did not intend to renew the character with Crisis on Infinite Earths . It may not have done had it been successful miniseries but in the end, Aquaman got a new home filled with retroactive revisions since 1989.
