Tangent Comics / Sea Devils #1

Part of DC's bold 1997 Tangent Comics experiment — which reimagined familiar names as entirely new concepts — Sea Devils #1 drops readers into an underwater world teeming with bizarre, vivid life. The cover by Vince Giarrano and Tom Palmer swirls with energy: a powerful crimson humanoid creature plunges downward at the center, surrounded by a green reptilian beast, a blue finned figure, an orange crustacean creature, and a sleek gray aquatic form, all caught in a dynamic teal whirlpool composition that feels genuinely alive. With Kurt Busiek writing and Giarrano on interior art, "Devils and the Deep" promises a strange, compelling dive into waters you haven't explored before.
