Ripples Through Time - 191
I'm reading every Aquaman solo adventure in publication order. After I read each story I will post the cover/splash page and a few thoughts on the story.
Adventure #268 (January 1960) - The Adventures of Aquaboy!
Aquaman has trouble convincing a blind man that Aquaman is real, which causes him to reflect on his past as Aquaboy.
Glove Color: Yellow.
Regular Supporting Cast: Topo.
Captured/Knocked Out report: A seaquake somehow manages to hurt Aquaman so he can't move his arms.
Quotefile: Captain Harte, "So you're an Aquaman, eh? I don't believe you! A man such as you describe couldn't exist in the past, present, or future!"
Finny Friends Report: Aquaboy puts his head in a shark's mouth to prove his powers. Aquaman rides Topo. Aquaboy got sperm whales to support Captain Harte's ship into port. Aquaboy rode a dolphin to lead archaeologists to a wreck. Aquaman calls up one of the sperm whales that saved Harte's ship in the past to save Harte in the present.
This story establishes that the Silver Age Aquaman was active as a child. The Golden Age Aquaman didn't appear much at all, and only as an adult.
I love Aquaboy's Dutch adventure. Heh.
