The Atlantis Chronicles are a side story to the Aquaman comics, published by DC Comics in 1990. They were written by Peter David and illustrated by Esteban Maroto, Eric Kachelhofer, and Gaspar Saladino, and are presented as real-life historical documents.Detailing the history of Atlantis through its various chroniclers, all of whom have their own quirks and biases, it tells of the sinking of the city via meteor and the people's attempts to rebuild and forge new lives under the sea as the people of Poseidonis and Tritonis found separate ways to deal with the new situation. Also included are major historical figures, such as Arion, Orin the First, Shalako, Cora, Dardanus, Honsu, Atlan, Atlanna, and the cursed Kordax, whose control over sea life made the people fear anyone born with blond hair.Elements of this series were included in Aquaman (1991) and to a much greater extent in David's Aquaman (1994), which he used as a stepping stone for much of his worldbuilding.This series compares to The Krypton Chronicles, a similar series detailing the history of Krypton, the home world of Superman. | |

Good Is Not Dumb | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_21ef4ccd | comment |
Good Is Not Dumb: Downplayed with King Orin, who, despite some Dude, Where's My Respect? treatment from some historians, is a good scientist and strategist who tends to be the "Abel" in the Cain and Abel dynamics with his brother. He gives iron to hostile neighboring tribes to try and make peace with them, but when they do attack, he has bigger weapons in reserve to drive them back. | |

Generation Xerox | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: A basic theme of the series is feuding royal brothers, dating back to the founding of Atlantis; the present day Aquaman and Ocean Master are just the latest generation. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Once the Tritonians gained fish legs, and later tails, it wasn't long before the Poseidonians looked down on them as fish-heads. Due to Shalako's magic and Kordax's control over sea life, the people of both Tritonis and Poseidonis feared anyone born with blond hair, including the future Aquaman. | |

I Just Write the Thing: Peter David steadfastly rejects any suggestion that he was ultimately in control of the plot and claimed events came to him as they happened in 'real life'. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: The comic gets a lot of mileage out of the fact that the text-boxes are directly from The Atlantis Chronicles, but the events on-panel are what actually happened. This is generally played for laughs, but it turns horrific at the end of issue 3, where the chronicler notes that the princess was reportedly frigid on her wedding night, and chalks it up to nerves (it being her first time and all). The reader, however, knows that she had been raped the previous night. | |

Colony Drop | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_b3eecaae | comment |
Colony Drop: Atlantis was originally sunk by a massive asteroid. Shalako and his followers believed it to be this, sent by the Goddess of the Sky to punish the Atlanteans for forsaking her. But most assume it was just a natural event. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| The Atlantis Chronicles (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Convincing arguments are made to cast doubt on whether Shalako's spirit returns as a champion of the Dark Gods, kills Dardanus out of revenge for his son exposing his crimes so many decades ago, and then is defeated when the non-evil gods make the recently slain Orin their champion, or whether Regin himself kills Dardanus to avenge Orin and then stages the scene and made up everything else to give the increasingly world-weary Atlanteans a new source of hope. On the other hand, in prior stories, even when the chronicler's narrative diverges from what really happened, the actual events are shown, and the extent of Shalako's allegiance to the Dark Gods wasn't widely known to the Atlanteans. | |
