1st app of Mera (co-star in "Aquaman" movie)
Tom Cook Collection
Mera was originally conceived by Jack Miller and Nick Cardy as a female companion to Aquaman, her introduction in this issue filled readers in on her backstory; hailing from the alien world, Dimension Aqua, Mera comes to earth to seek help from Aquaman. The duo returns to her kingdom, with Aqualad and Quisp in tow, to do battle with, and eventually defeat the villain Leron, who had wiped out her entire city. Mera would go on to assume an important role in the Aquaman mythos, becoming the hero’s wife, and, in future stories, a very dangerous and unstable character, eventually being retooled as a villain in the 90s. A version of Mera that hews closely to her humble beginnings has been portrayed by Amber Heard in the DCEU in “Justice League” and “Aquaman” making her first appearance a desirable and attainable Silver Age key. A popular issue among Silver Age DC collectors, which should continue to see interest as the character’s presence on the silver screen continues to engage the attention of Aquafans everywhere.
