Owner's Description
"The Undersea Prison!" Second appearance of the Sea Devils - and I have to be honest, I'm surprised there was a third appearance if this cover is any indication. Of the three appearances in Showcase - this has got to be the worst. And I feel bad about that, because the grey tone work on the cover is wonderful. It's just that what is there to work with is so bad. We've got all four of the Sea Devils scrunched together in a cage in their gear, being investigated by a guy in some scuba gear which is hidden by some sort of tiki mask - and using some sort of underwater torch. I'm sure there's a great reason in the story for this image, and trying to scare the Sea Devils away, like some sort of aquatic Scooby Doo episode, but I just can't see buying this comic based on that cover. Then the background is totally barren - like there's no cool fish or sharks or nothing. Very boring - not what I'm looking for in my secrets of the deep ocean reading.
Overall - I do love grey tone covers and the Sea Devils - I just can't see spending my hard earned dime on this based on the cover.
