The Deal!
Here it is folks…it is FINALLY time to reveal a story nearly a decade in the making. The secret origin of McGinty and Deveraux will be unfolding before your very eyes in the coming week and months, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
It’s funny to think back, all the way to 2010, when we were working with Danilo on Secret of the Beaufort Sea. At first, McGinty and Deveraux were just afterthoughts; a couple of “orange shirts” who were needed to help Joe and Doc drag Armstrong (rapidly growing into a Sperm Whale) to the docking bay. But, then MAGIC happened…Danilo imbued those “orange shirts” with so much character and personality that they simply could not be ignored. They leaped off the page. They demanded to become part of the story…to become part of the very FABRIC of the Deep Dive Daredevils.
The rest is history, and now it is time to tell the HISTORY of how McGinty and Deveraux became those two SCALLYWAGS that we fell in love with all those years ago.
Till next time!

Like, wow, man; awesome. And who is that guy? Davey Jones, maybe? Inquiring minds want to know!
As Deveraux says, he’s the Black Pirate. That’ll have to do for now…
Huh, this gets more and more curious. I wonder what Deveraux is planning to do with that fancy shiv of his….
Hmmm…yes, I wonder.
Next time call Daniel Webster Esq. Attorney at Law…
Haven’t you read about him?
I am glad to see the fringe characters getting so much billing lately. Twitchy is my favorite, but they are all growing on me.
I think I am missing a reference here…
I even Googled it, dagnabbit!

It is referencing a short story, one of the Archetype Devil buys a soul stories.
Edit: He was also a real person, and his real life is legendary among legal scholars and Early American historians.
I’d forgotten about him. Thanks for the refresher, T. Gatto!
I do believe it’s about time for a prison break!
That Schluck in black?!? I DATED HIS DAUGHTER!!! Thankfully, it never worked out…
So, was she hot!?
Yup… and a 51/50 if ever there was one…
“Hey, it’s a new DDD! Cool! I wonder what this OMG THAT FIRST PANEL MANG IT’S LIKE DARKSEID AND BLACKBEARD HAD A BABY WHERE’S THE REST OF THE BOOK ALREADY”
The rest is a’ coming, StLOrca. Slowly but surely…
