The Sea Devils are a team of characters in comics published by DC Comics. They are a team of conventional (non-superpowered) adventurers, in undersea adventures. They were created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Russ Heath (thru issue #10).
[edit] Origins
The team was introduced in Showcase #27-29. They get their own title which lastes 35 issues (1961-67).
The team consisted of leader Dane Dorrance, Biff Bailey, Judy Watson (Dane's girlfriend), Nicky Watson (Judy's younger brother). During a one issue crossover story with the Challengers of the Unknown in Challengers of the Unknown issue #47 they fought the criminal group known as Scorpio. The team also had affiliated allies called the International Sea Devils: Molo from Africa, Sikki from India, and Miguel from South America. They also sometimes teamed up with a green skinned Atlantean man they called the Man-Fish, and diving students they called the "Tadpoles".
After the cancellation of their title, Dane and Judy (now married) helped out Christopher Chance, the Human Target in Detective Comics #486. The team then helped against an alien invasion in Showcase #100.
The Sea Devils (usually only Dane) would later appear as part of the Forgotten Heroes team.
[edit] Current Status
The Sea Devils resurface in Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis #42 as the defacto paramilitary guardians of Windward Home. Jim Lockhart the Red Torpedo, and Elsa Magnusson, widow of Mark Merlin are the administrators of Windward.
