Topo

Topo is an octopus and loyal companion to Aquaman, first appearing in the Silver Age underwater adventures of Adventure Comics. Remarkably intelligent and helpful, he serves as a friendly denizen of the seas who aids Aquaman in his undersea world.

Few sidekicks in the DC universe carry quite the charm of Topo, the delightfully distinctive companion who first surfaced in Adventure Comics #229 in 1956, brought to life by the wonderfully inventive Ramona Fradon. A fixture of the underwater world that Aquaman and Arthur Curry call home, Topo has paddled through the pages of DC Comics across an impressive six decades — from the Silver Age seas of Adventure Comics and Aquaman all the way to the all-ages warmth of Tiny Titans. With a key issue already to their name and appearances alongside luminaries like Clark Kent, Speedy, and Roy Harper, Topo is a beloved piece of DC's aquatic mythology — quirky, enduring, and absolutely worth a place in any serious collector's heart.
