Nicky Walton

Nicky Walton is a supporting character connected to the Sea Devils, DC's Silver Age team of adventurous deep-sea divers who first surfaced in Showcase #28. Nicky inhabits the undersea adventure world shared with team leader Dane Dorrance.

A genuine Silver Age original, Nicky Walton made their debut in the pages of Showcase #28 back in 1960 — the same storied anthology that launched some of DC's most beloved characters — before diving headfirst into the undersea adventures of Sea Devils. Sharing pages with luminaries like Green Lantern, The Flash, and Dane Dorrance, Nicky has kept remarkably distinguished company across a publishing history that stretches all the way to 2021. It's a testament to the enduring charm of that early-'60s DC spirit that Nicky would resurface decades later in DC Universe: Legacies and even the delightfully offbeat Bizarro Comics, proving that the Silver Age never fully lets go of its most earnest creations.
