In "The Creatures from the Sub-World," the Sea Devils venture into an underground realm only to be transformed into its native inhabitants, facing a shocking trial led by their former foe, Captain Hood. Written and illustrated with gritty precision by Howard Purcell, with inks by Sheldon Moldoff and lettering by Stan Starkman, this 1964 DC adventure delivers a tense, twisty descent into mystery—where identity, betrayal, and survival collide beneath the surface. The cover, also by Purcell, captures the eerie, submerged dread of the journey.
