This version of Aquaman turned out to be more popular than the original. He continued appearing in ''"Adventure Comics ''" until issue #284 (April, 1961). He became one of the founding members of the [[Justice League of America]] in 1960, and was a regular there. In 1961, Aquaman's strip got transferred to ''"Detective Comics''", he starred in a few ''"Showcase''" issues, and he got several crossovers with Superman. All in preparation of his first solo title, ''"Aquaman ''" vol. 1 #1-63 (February, 1962-March, 1971, revived August, 1977-August, 1978).
In the process Aquaman picked up a supporting cast, something which he previously lacked. Most notable among them were [[Sidekick]] Aqualad, and super-powered wife Mera. They even had a kid. The [[Bronze Age]] led to his comic being canceled, [[
After ''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' rolled around, Aquaman, like many [[The DCU|DCU]] denizens, got a new origin. Now, he was the son of an immortal Atlantean wizard, abandoned to die for his [[Blond Guys Are Evil|blond hair]] and [[Raised by Wolves|raised by dolphins]] before being found by the lighthouse-keeper. After this, [[Peter David]] became his main writer, and revamped him; his hand was eaten by piranhas and replaced with a hook, he [[Growing the Beard|grew out his beard]], and moved toward epic, [[Barbarian Hero]]-style adventures. This led to a successful ongoing series for a time, but it slipped in popularity after David was removed, and was eventually canceled.
