Aquaman (Volume 2)  

Starring: Arthur Curry as Aquaman.

(Four-Issue Miniseries).

Tragedy catapults Aquaman back to Atlantis, where he discovers that ancient talismans are missing. To prevent a grisly war, Aquaman goes undercover, searching exotic, never-seen underwater civilizations!  

After the lackluster reception to the Aquaman fronted Detroit era of the Justice League, DC attempted a new four issue mini series from writer Neal Pozner and artist Craig Hamilton. The new costume introduced here didn't catch on much longer outside of the mini-series, however it did inspire the later costume worn by Aqualad is his guise as Tempest.
