Aquamans Most Controversial Costume Returns in Glorious Comic Cover

DC Comics’ January 2022 solicitations have revealed a fantastic variant cover for Aquaman/Green Arrow – Deep Target #4, which features a long-forgotten suit used by Aquaman in the 1980s. The suit in question is a blue, white, and black suit that was originally used in Neal Pozner and Craig Hamilton’s 1986 miniseries, simply titled Aquaman. Love it or hate it, seeing it again is a tribute to the history of a character whose various reinventions are less well-known than those of his Justice League allies.

Aquaman/Green Arrow – Deep Target is an upcoming seven-issue miniseries, released the year of the two heroes’ eightieth anniversaries. It will be written by Brandon Thomas with art by Ronan Cliquet. It is uncertain whether or not the blue Aquaman suit will appear in the story, but the variant cover showing it off is the work of artist Kael Ngu, who has produced many beautiful covers for DC, including one for the upcoming fantasy miniseries Dark Knights of Steel.

Pozner and Hamilton’s Aquaman – and the suit introduced in it – were seen as a distinct marker of a change in the status quo for Arthur Curry; one some fans loved, and others hated. Since then, the suit hasn’t had a major legacy in the Aquaman comics, but it has been cited by director James Wan as an influence for a new stealth suit appearing in Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, worn by Jason Momoa. It certainly isn’t the King of Atlantis’s most iconic outfit, especially compared with his more rugged “trident hand” look or his classic orange and green suit, but the colors and design patterns are beautiful and fit the character perfectly. Enjoy the stylish cover as well as DC’s solicit information for the issue below:

The costume was envisioned as a sort of stealth suit, with the colors acting as camouflage while underwater. It’s an idea that makes a lot of sense, especially for certain missions Aquaman might have to go on. If he needs to sneak past a dangerous ocean predator or break into an enemy hideout, it makes sense to have an outfit that allows him to blend in just a little bit more. Aquaman’s blue suit would certainly at least be better for that function than his orange armor. In the few appearances the suit has made since the 1980s, it has been used precisely for this function.

It also helps that the composition of the variant cover featuring it most recently is so breathtaking. Not only are the colors and use of light stunning, but the water in the image wraps and splashes around the figure of the blue Aquaman rising out of the water in such a way that it emphasizes how integral the ocean is to the character. The way the water blends in with the light blue hues of his suit give the impression that he really is one with the sea – his home, his source of life and strength.

Whether or not Aquaman decides to don his blue eighties stealth suit alongside the Emerald Archer in Aquaman/Green Arrow – Deep Target, the inclusion of the costume in Ngu’s variant cover is a welcome one. It’s an oft-forgotten suit that unfortunately comes from a controversial part of Aquaman’s history, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored, especially when artists are giving it this much love in their work.
