Sea Devils #35

DC's underwater adventurers find themselves in serious trouble on Murphy Anderson's cover for this 1967 issue, as three red-suited Sea Devils are scattered and overwhelmed by a massive, roaring black sea creature lunging through the murky deep. The tagline "The Name of the Game Is Death!" sets a genuinely suspenseful tone, with one diver seemingly in the creature's grip while the others struggle nearby. Bob Haney's script and Howard Purcell's interior art promise the same pulse-quickening energy that made this era of DC adventure comics so compelling.
