Sightings

This page is for Comic Book Sightings only. For sightings in other media, please go to AquaSpotting. Anyone can post a spotting in the discussion page there.

Please read the Gradings Guide before adding a sighting. All sightings should have a grading. Gradings 3-6 do not require individual pages for the issues, unless you feel like creating the page. For gradings 1-2 please at least create a link to a page for the issue.

Any Aquaman Family characters can be included in sightings, including villains. Please indicate the name (and version if applicable) of the character. Please also indicate if the character is appearing as part of a team (JLA, Titans, etc).
