''Aquaman (1986)'' is a 4-issue ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' miniseries by Creator/DCComics. It's the last major Pre-Crisis storyline for the character, and is notable for introducing Aquaman's blue camouflage costume as well as adding magic to the lore of Atlantis. It was written by Neal Pozner and illustrated by Craig Hamilton, Steve Montano, Joe Orlando, and Bob Lappan.
When Aquaman's brother, Orm the Ocean Master, attacks and destroys his home of New Venice, he and Mera are shocked to discover Orm is much more powerful than he ever was before. In Atlantis, Vulko discovers the royal seal of Atlantis has been stolen and the likely culprits are from the isolationist, magical city of Thiera Na Oge.
Aquaman is dispatched to retrieve the seal, but finds Thierna Na Oge is in the middle of a war not unlike his own. The tyrant king, Bres, has overthrown her sister Nuada and suspects him of having stolen their own artifact, the Lia Fail. As Aquaman struggles to keep up in a world suddenly filled with magic, he learns that overcoming his anger and superiority complex may be the key to saving both kingdoms and stopping Orm.
