What's the best way to read the original Aquaman comics?

[Batman Forever]

I'm interested in reading the 'more fun' comics issues that aquaman appeared in as well as the 'adventure comics' stories he was in. Comixology only has issue 73 of more fun comics. What's the best way to read all of these in order?

Well, for a little later down the road, there was


The Aquaman Archives, Volume 1 if you can find it.

The archives are excellent.

More Fun Comics is kind of hit or miss, actually. I mean the stories aren't bad, but the only ones that stand out are the first ever story; "The Submarine Strikes" and then the Black Jack issues. After that, Aquaman turns up in Adventure Comics forever. From the 40s to 60s. Then he headlighted Showcase. Then his first solo volume. Then the switch back to Adventure.

The Archives are probably the best way to access all those stories. And in spite of a LOT of filler, that's less than notable, it's a remarkably consistent presentation of the ultimate Pulp Adventurer.
