MONSTERS FROM THE DEEP

AS SORT OF A COMPANION PIECE TO THE WATERY GHOST WE SAW IN "A CLUE FOR SCOOBY DOO", HERE WE HAVE A PAGE OF SEA MONSTERS. 

From the first issue of SEA DEVILS (as it appears in the black and white reprint edition of DC SHOWCASE PRESENTS, we have a rather nice grouping of monsters from the ocean floor from the story entitled "THE SEA DEVILS VS. OCTOPUS MAN" published in 1961.  The story was written by Robert Kanigher and the glorious artwork is by the legendary Russ Heath.  I've just recently picked up this absolutely wonderful reprint collection and have been loving it as much as I did the DC SHOWCASE PRESENTS BLACKHAWK book a year or so ago!  The undersea adventures of Dane, Judy, Biff and Nicky are fantastic entertainment and the superb artwork of Russ Heath is stunningly gorgeous!  So here are five panels from the Sea Devils' first issue (after a trio of appearances in DC's tryout book SHOWCASE) which fit in with my monstery October agenda:  a bevy of sea monsters for your Halloween!
