Artist – Chic Stone
Inker – Sheldon Moldoff

There are some new players who ride the Seven Seas, and they call themselves the Sea Angels. For about half a minute, they plague the Sea Devils with their shenanigans, yet are easily dealt with. They are fun and freewheeling, just looking to have a little fun, and meant no real harm, so take the advice from Dane and the rest of the Devils to stop causing trouble for others. That being said, the Angels come across a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that seems as far-fetched as anything could be, and yet, it hardly crosses their mind that it could be fake or a joke in any way. So it is that they head beneath the waves and let loose a monster from its cage, and just before they are killed, say the magic words to cow it into service. Soon enough, ships are being attacked by a gigantic monster, and while the Devils try to deal with the creature, they get a pretty good idea of who might be behind it all, that being their new friends, the Sea Angels. Like every previous story told in this title, everything is not as it seems, though, and the real villain is soon revealed. There is also a little twist to this discovery, which is a bit silly but also slightly heartbreaking, as it leads to death. Overall, this was quite the entertaining tale as told by an uncredited writer once again. This book also sees artist Howard Purcell step aside in favour of Chic Stone, a man of no meagre talent. So the book not only reads just fine, it looks great as well, which makes the fantastical come to life in the most amazing of ways. The Sea Angels, who one would think would be diametrically opposed to the Sea Devils, turn out to be goofballs and while one can see that the writer is playing up to those teens of that particular time when this issue was released, it turns out to be one of the silliest things ever seen in this title. They were not bad per se, just ridiculous, and it would have been far preferable if the book had a tone that was just a touch more serious than it was. That aside, there was much to like as the Sea Devils went about their business. The teamwork was there, despite Dane taking much of the spotlight; the thrills and the action were great, and most importantly, it kept the reader turning the pages and wanting more. It was not the best Sea Devils story, but it was still a lot of fun.
