 Aquaman first appeared in 1941 as a human whose super-power was breathing
underwater and whose American scientist father had discovered Atlantis. While Marvel's Namor
(the Sub-Mariner) appeared in 1939, two years earlier, there were substantial differences
between the two. Namor was not originally from Atlantis, though he had more powers. Over
time, the two have grown more alike.
Paul Norris is now officially credited by DC as the character's creator,
and Norris certainly drew Aquaman's first stories. Some suspect a writer's hand, however, and
have pointed to Mort Weisinger, thought to be the writer of Aquaman's first tale, though we
will probably never know for certain due to the scarcity of records from the period.
