Wow! I have to agree with you about Heath,...Pappy,<br /><br />Wow! I have to agree with you about Heath, his beautiful art can negate the inherent silliness of DC storylines from this era! What a gorgeous wash style cover! The color on the cover and also the interior art is really nice, especially for the early 60's. DC did manage a few really cool wash covers like this during this era. If I had seen this comic in the rack I would have snatched it up promptly!<br /><br />Regarding the story, suffice to say it's the only story in my memory to feature the phrase "octopus on a leash"! I won't even mention the faulty physics demonstrated during the "underwater catapult" sequence!<br /><br />I think they should have had lovely Judy Walton ditch brawny Biff and the rest and made a comic with her and a trio of bikini -clad sea devils instead! (Droool!)<br /><br />Awesome post!THE APOCOLYTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835797417138325832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-90990206555533275452014-05-04T09:58:13.550-07:002014-05-04T09:58:13.550-07:00Hmmm.
