Sea Devils #8

DC's underwater adventurers find themselves in dire straits in Sea Devils #8 (1962), with the cover — rendered by Russ Heath — depicting the team mid-transformation: one diver clutching a glowing object, a female teammate already half-fish, and a third member tumbling helplessly while an enormous manta ray looms overhead. The speech balloon's stammered cry, "W-We Sea Devils have all been t-t-turned into fish!", captures the sheer horror of "Curse of Neptune's Giant!" with Heath's fluid, expressive linework making every underwater detail feel alive. Robert Kanigher and Heath together deliver the kind of imaginative, high-stakes sea adventure that made this series a standout corner of the early 1960s DC lineup.
