This story marks the first regular appearance of a standard Silver Age character, Topo the Octopus. He isn&#039;t actually named in this tale, but it&#039;s undeniably Topo. It could be argued that Topo appeared before, as Aquaman says, &quot;You&#039;ve always been one of my most valuable helpers, octopus&quot;, but this is when Topo actually becomes a part of the official cast. From here on out, if Aquaman rides an octopus, it&#039;s Topo. The Golden Age Aquaman had a sea cow that he rode... from here on out... it&#039;s Topo.<br /> <br /> ==Links==<br /> * [http://aqua.gjovaag.com/rev/silv/adv_0229.html Old Version]<br /> * [http://aquablog.gjovaag.com/2007/08/ripples-through-time-152.html Ripples Through Time]<br /> * [http://comics.org/details.lasso?id=13134 GCD Entry for this issue]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Topo]]<br /> [[Category:Silver Age]]<br /> [[Category:Adventure Comics]]<br /> [[Category:Grade 1]]</div>
