Sea Devils #23

Sea Devils #23 brings Bob Haney's story "The Outcasts of the Seven Seas" to life with a cover by Howard Purcell that drops you right into the deep-sea chaos — two red-suited divers are caught in a powerful whirlpool, being spiraled downward toward an unseen lair while a third smaller figure tumbles helplessly below them. The swirling vortex and the taunting caption — "Ha-Ha… Whirl, Waters! Whirl the Sea Devils into My Lair!" — set a wonderfully menacing tone that captures DC's 1965 adventure spirit at its best. If you enjoy underwater action with a sense of real peril, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case for diving in.
