SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Obviously, Aquaman #1 features the start of the Silver Age run of Aquaman in his own magazine after four try-out issues in Showcase (#30-33). It also features the first appearance of Quisp, an undersea creature blessed with magical powers. In the book, Aquaman and Aqualad battle fire trolls who were unleashed during an undersea volcanic eruption. They eventually manage to gather up and restrain the fire trolls, who are returned to the underworld via a crack in the ocean floor, which is then sealed with the help of Aquaman's undersea friends.
Our 9.8 with OW/W pages is currently the only one in grade with three 9.6s. We acquired the book in a private transaction in 2023 and submitted it to CGC ourselves.* As with the case of many of our early Aquaman books, we have been the only registered owner of this one. Not long after acquiring it, we sold our 9.6 on Heritage for $45,600. So while nothing like as valuable as the most valuable JLA, Flash or Green Lanterns, this book probably warrants more than the 17,600 registry points it currently receives.
