Aquaman Comic Book Price Guide

Top 20 Aquaman Comic Book Appearances

With a first appearance buried deep in the Golden Age, in More Fun Comics #73, Aquaman has been around for over 80 years.

It was only a matter of time before Aquaman starred in DCU movies.

There have already been two, plus his part in the Justice League movie.

Still, he has never broken out of the B-list.

Despite in my opinion some of the best covers of the Silver Age by Nick Cardy, there are some superheroes that never quite capture the imagination.

Marvel's equivalent, the Sub-Mariner, is similar in that regard.

Maybe comic collectors can't relate to living underwater?

1) Golden Age Aquaman Comic Book Key Issues

None of the Golden Age appearances of Aquaman feature him on the cover of the book.

More Fun Comics #73
1st Aquaman, Green Arrow and Speedy

Lowest price $12,000

Average price $65,000

Record price $120,000

Two major first appearances for the price of one (and Speedy is a third, minor character).

Green Arrow is probably closer to a C-list character, but Aquaman has enjoyed a revival lately due to all the movie action involving him.

Some of the prices appear weird. It's long, long overdue a huge sale to set a new record.

World’s Finest Comics #6
Only Golden Age Aquaman appearance outside
More Fun and Adventure Comics

Lowest price $200

Average price $900

Record price $2,040

Although Aquaman doesn't appear on this cover, it's the only time in the Golden Age that he appears outside of his two main titles.

While there are lots of backup stories in More Fun Comics and Adventure Comics after the above, there are no cover appearances or other key issues in the Golden Age.

2) Silver Age Aquaman Comic Book Keys

Adventure Comics #229
1st Silver Age Aquaman comic book

Lowest price $100

Average price $200

Record price $640

This is arguably the first appearance of Aquaman in the Silver Age, as it coincides with the release of Showcase #4, the first Silver Age comic book of all.

Adventure Comics #260
1st Silver Age origin of Aquaman

Lowest price $40

Average price $240

Record price $26,400

A very popular issue that retells the origin story of Aquaman in the Silver Age. Not to be confused with Showcase #30, which is the specific origin of the Silver Age Aquaman.

Showcase #30
Origin of Silver Age Aquaman

Lowest price $100

Average price $500

Record price $20,400

Aquaman #1 (1962)
1st in new series

Lowest price $80

Average price $650

Record price $45,600

This is a classic cover, and the first #1 issue featuring the character.

Aquaman #35
1st Black Manta

Lowest price $40

Average price $250

Record price $9,000

Black Manta has also appeared in a DCU movie. This first appearance is not my favorite cover...

Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #29
Aquaman cover appearance

Lowest price $10

Average price $60

Record price $2,000

A hilarious cover from DC's department of dumb ideas. As if anybody would want to kiss Green Arrow...
