    Default Aquaman 80th anniversary 100 page spectacular coming out august 31

    https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/0...er-spectacular


    Celebrates DC’s King of the Seven Seas!


    Since his first appearance in November 1941’s More Fun Comics #73, Arthur Curry, a.k.a. Aquaman, has defended the Seven Seas and the DC Universe itself from all manner of threats. On August 31, DC and Aqua-fans alike can celebrate the legacy of the Atlantean Sea King, with the release of the Aquaman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular.

    Some of the greatest names in comics will contribute their storytelling firepower to this 100-page collector’s item – writers Dan Jurgens, Geoff Johns, Brandon Thomas, Chuck Brown, Stephanie Phillips, Michael Moreci, Marguerite Bennett, Dan Watters, Jeff Parker, Becky Cloonan and Francis Manapul.

    They’ll be joined by some of the most prolific artists in comics, including Steve Epting, Paul Pelletier, Valentine de Landro, Hendry Prasetya, Pop Mhan, Trungles, Miguel Mendonça, Evan “Doc” Shaner, and more.



    In addition to a stunning cover by the iconic team of Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, the Aquaman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular will feature eight “decade” themed card stock variant covers, portraying the marine monarch throughout the years:

    1940’s variant cover by Michael Cho

    1950’s variant cover by Ramona Fradon

    1960’s variant cover by Walt Simonson

    1970’s variant cover by José Luis García-López

    1980’s variant cover by Chuck Patton and Kevin Nowlan

    1990’s variant cover by Yvel Guichet

    2000’s variant cover by Becky Cloonan

    2010’s variant cover by Robson Rocha.

    This all-star-filled anthology spans across the ocean king’s legacy, not just celebrating his own triumphs but also those of his greatest allies and enemies. The main cover version of this 100-page blockbuster is priced at $9.99, with each card stock variant priced at $10.99

    Soft admission that both didn't really do that well on Aquaman? I mean, we don't have Bunn either.

    I would imagine it's probably more likely he's writing something Jackson than Arthur related among the anthology.

    Well if the measure used was who did well on Aquaman, than useless to have all those writers, they could have handed the book to Johns alone. After him only Parker did well.
    Abnett had decent sales, he is also the writer who wrote the most issues for Aquaman. I take abnett or Ksd anytime but not Jurgens.
    Anyway glad that Ramona Frandon is given the chance to do an Aquaman cover. It was high time.

    more likely its a story with Jackson prominent but with Arthur, Its Arthur's anniversary not of the other Aqua characters, I doubt it will be like Aquaman Deep Dives

    Good art teams, good voices. Eager to see Johns and Parker pick the toybox back up and give us some codas or chapters to their kind of adventures, in particular. And just in time for my birthday. Nice!

    I wonder if the Manapul stuff will just be whatever was finished of his scrapped Earth One book.
