Owner's Description
"The Last Dive of the Sea Devils!" - aw hell - this is possibly my favorite cover of the entire 104 issue Showcase run. Look at the tension between Poseidon & the Sea Devils - the detailing on Poseidon's chest - dude's got abs! The seahorse - such exquisite grey tone work on top of the excellent contrast with the color of the surrounding water. We've got the competing strong diagonals of the seahorse's body & the thrust/return thrust of the trident and the harpoon gun, the glorious contrast of the Sea Devils suits with the complimentary colors of the rest of the cover image. How can you not want to buy this book and see how in the name of all that is holy they managed to get in a fight with an actual Greek god? Side note - according to Greek mythology, Poseidon created the horse - so having him riding a seahorse is wonderful and amazing and cool.
And as much as I love, love, love this cover - it isn't even my favorite Sea Devils cover. But it sure stands out when compared to the drivel that most of the Showcase covers offered us.
Overall - the best.
