Since his dramatic debut in the 1940s, Aquaman has gone from admired hero to legendary icon. Able to breathe in air and water, the King of the Seven Seas has fought villainy from the deepest depths of the oceans to the outer limits of the galaxy. An assassin named Deadline has been hired to kill Aquaman. Meanwhile Aquaman, Dolphin and Koryak approach Poseidonis and see that it's now on a tilt. To make matters worse, Aquaman's hook has been melted from his recent battles and he must go to S.T.A.R. (Science and Technology Advanced Research) labs in Metropolis to get a replacement. Will Aquaman be able to replace his hook in time to save the city of Poseidonis and avoid the hit that's been put out on him? Find out in AQUAMAN BY PETER DAVID BOOK TWO. This volume collects AQUAMAN ANNUAL #1, AQUAMAN #9-20.
