I don't understand...I clearly remember looking at this thread earlier....now it's a 404 error and you're remaking it....why?

@danhimself: I was missing some of the designs in the Modern Age timeline. the bottom two designs are the ones I've applied to the voting poll. thanks again for deleting your earlier post bro...now you can make a vote on which designs the best.

Ehh for me it's a mixture. Jim Lee looks with Ivan Reis hair, no sideburns. And i've always liked Gleasons water hand.

Admittedly, while the art is subpar, I like the DESIGN of Craig Hamilton's. Will likely be an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed harpoon-hand savage Aquaman. Also I would like to point out that Jim Lee's looks a LOT like Catman.

I made an error on the images and the specific penciler, but it has since been fixed after I noticed the misconception.

Craig Hamilton's Aquaman came from the 4-part mini series they had after Crisis of Infinite Earths depicted in the pic below.

@ckuakini

Just to clarify, when you say 'Martin Egeland', you mean both his orange-harpoon look and the bare chest-metal armor look? Or just the orange one?

Don't want to make the same mistake I did in the earlier thread.

@Veshark: Both, I was going to post up both of his suits, but this one seemed more appealing. However, I'll post up the other one jus cause you mentioned it.

@ckuakini

Much appreciated. Aquaman's 90s JLA look is still my favorite interpretation of the character.

@Veshark: Loved the story arcs Aquaman played a main role in, especially Rock Of Ages. His appearance in the series was a complete masterpiece. Obsidian Age and the story line where the JLA battle the likes of the Ultra-Marines corps were also my favorites during his "harpoon" adventures with the JLA. It was JLA #24-26 of Morrison's series.

Jim Lee's design.

@ckuakini

Oh yeah, definitely. Morrison really wrote a strong portrayal of Aquaman, a tough rebel yet a loyal friend. I think JLA was one of the first comics to really turn me on to Aquaman as a character.

One of my favorite moments in the World War III arc was when Aquaman confronted a bunch of light-based villains (Dr. Light, Crazy Quilt etc) during a prison breakout: "My eyes are adapted to see at 20,000 fathoms. Most of your powers are dependent on light." Then the lights go off. "Think about that."

Awesome :D

hahah those panels were a complete classic. That was just Aquaman showing some humor. However, CV's not letting me post up the images of Aquaman with his harpoon and silver armory for some reason. Do you have any scans or pictures of him while rocking his bearded appearance?

@ckuakini

Sadly no, but it's easy enough to copy-paste images from Google:

It's surprisingly hard to find the hook Aquaman drawn by Howard Porter...

I like Ivan Reis's design

yea it is..Martin Egeland was known most widely for this design, which makes it's harder to find the other images of the other artists; more so, jus trying to find Egeland's Aquaman.

They're all inferior to Emperor Joker Aquaman.

Jim Lee's design. I'd love it more if he had a beard.

Unable to recant my vote.

For me, it's a tie between Gleason and Lee... Gleason's waterhand aquaman was awesome, but Lee's bearded look makes aquaman look more badass, i even dig the side burns. Reis' is cool too, but i feel it's too clean cut. Pelletier's aquaman looks similar to Reis' aquaman, only difference i see is that Pelletier gives aquaman a bigger nose 0.0

I like Jim Lee's the best, but I rally like Reis' and Pelletiers', as well. They look very similar, and it's really just their art styles that are different, though.

@ckuakini: the picture you put as Pelletiers design is Eddy Barrow's

@Squalleon: they collaborated on the cover. But here's more specific scans of Paul Pelletier's Aquaman:

@ckuakini: You sure? I was looking at the solitics and it was just Barrows.

Also i recognise the art style :-P

Anyway who cares! Aquaman is awesome under Pelletier's art

As of right now, I'm liking the collaboration of both Paul Pelletier and Sean Parsons working artistically on the Aquaman title. Some of the panels are really sick like the page of ancient King of Atlantis (maybe Poseidon), which is very detailed with some of the very deep colors Parsons brings to the table.

Really enjoyed Martin Egeland's Aquaman when he was drawing for the character while Peter David was writing for him.

Probably Ivan Reis' Aquaman. His New 52 design is boss..

Ivan Reis, hands down. His art on the new 52 Aquaman title is legendary. This is just a case where an artist's and character's styles are so perfectly suited for each other that the result is pure art.

Between Ivan's and Howard Porters.

honorable mention to Craig and Jackson's

i think Jackson Guice's Design is the best fr a young aquaman maybe one that isn't quite king yet and then jim lee's for an older king Arthur

This one.

One arm and bearded.

Did someone beat me to it? Guess not...

I'm with you on that.

Any Gleason fans out there?

What about the design of Aquaman when he rolled with 'The Others'? Anyone liked his appearance during that story arc depicting a younger Aquaman six years ago?

I vote Ivan Reis's modern design.

Not a fan of the Wolverine sideburns on Lee's design.

The Ivan Reis design for the new 52 is the definite AQ visual representation.

Apart from that I Martin Egeland's harpoon hand design (also posted in this thread) was also classic.

Ivan Reis' modern Aquaman, although I do like Young Justice's Aquaman with black pants and green boots. I love Aquaman, but my only main problem with him is that his legs are so damn plain! Like green stalkings or something.

I personally hate Aquaman's long hair+hook hand look.

Reis, Pelletier and Gleason.

Nothing against Jim Lee, but I actually hate his Aquaman. Just looks off to me.
