Tim & I were having a discussion over on the Superman board about Atlantis so I thought I'd post my list of information I've been collecting about Atlantis published in various DC books.

Obviously not complete as I haven't read every comic DC has published, and, of course, most of the writers weren't thinking about making all these Atlantis stories work together even after connections between various series had been established.

Also as I've been compiling this list over the past few years I've occasionally changed my mind over what information is important to include.
