Issue #11 is a mini-key, in that it features the first appearance of Mera, who was a prominent figure in the Aquaman movie and played by Amber Heard. Because of the black cover, it is a particularly tough issue to find in high grade and tends to be the most expensive of any Aquaman issue, excluding #1. The top copy in the census, a 9.4 Pacific Coast pedigree, recently came on the market and sold for about $30,000. While this copy was much cheaper, it is currently one of the four highest graded copies by CGC. Acquired in the September 19, 2019 CC auction.
2022 Update: It appears there has been a census change as there are now two 9.4s topping the census, knocking our book down to top 5. Hopefully, we will get another shot at a 9.4 now that there are two.
