The latest edition of DIAL B FOR BLOG -- the beautifully-laid out and illustrated blog that celebrates comics from days gone by -- profiles one of the more unusual comics of the Silver Age, SEA DEVILS The Sea Devils were a quartet of skin divers who had no super powers, and who operated in a fairly realistic world -- except that they regularly encountered aliens, giants, and other fantastic creatures undersea. Probably the biggest factor in the series's relative success (it lasted 35 issues, along with three tryout issues in SHOWCASE) was the phenomenal art of Russ Heath, particularly on the covers where he used various tonal effects to give the covers a painted look.
