The prophecy comes to pass!
I really dig this page…at first glance it doesn’t look like much is going on, but appearances can be deceiving. There are two HUGELY significant moments – one subtle and the other not so much – that do NOT bode well for the Daredevils. And, it also features some dang good-lookin’ art by Smilton.
**We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you this very special announcement**
WE ARE LAUNCHING A KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN ON TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD –NEXT WEEK– TO FUND A PRINT EDITION OF DEEP DIVE DAREDEVILS!!
We’re using Kickstarter to help us fund a professional offset print run – the same high-quality printing process used by the major publishers – of DEEP DIVE DAREDEVILS No. 1, a 48-page full-color comic book that collects the Daredevils’ first adventure, Secret of the Beaufort Sea!
In your hands, the comic will feel like an unearthed gem from Golden Age of comics with period accurate design and specialized aging effects applied to the art work. The cover, a brand-new illustration by Danilo Guida that is exclusive to the print edition, will feature halftone color, faded ink and faux creases. The interior pages will be printed on lightweight, uncoated paper (the next best thing to newsprint, without the smudging and massive ink bleed), and will have an effect applied that gives the pages a yellow tinge, while still preserving the integrity of Danilo’s beautiful art.
We’ll also be offering tons of cool swag – original art, trading cards, embroidered DDD patches, posters – and opportunities for YOU to become a DAREDEVIL and be drawn into the webcomic!
Well, we REALLY hope you guys/gals are as excited about this as we are! This is our first Kickstarter campaign, so we’ve taken great care when it comes to research and planning to make sure we get it right, but none of that matters without your SUPPORT. WE NEED YOUR HELP to make DEEP DIVE DAREDEVILS No. 1 a reality!
So, steel thyself dear reader because it’s going to be a WILD RIDE, filled with drama, surprises, and hopefully an end-result that allows us to put an honest-to-goodness DDD comic in YOUR HANDS!
Anyways, till next week!

Hot diggity dog!!! Start naming prices, sos’s I can barter with SWMBO (She who must be OBEYED) #4 (no joke there) about outlay- also I want a DDD patch for my BDU’s… I already have the inscription in Arabic that translates “infidel”… as well as the logo over my name that translates “Allow me to introduce you to Allah”.
Yes, there was some issues with… discipline… when I was active duty 1977 to 1981… but nothing that could be proven… and I re-wrote MANY SOP’s.
Still have my TA-55 stashed and ready to go, as I consider my oath valid even today…. ESPECIALLY today…
Those who understand, no explanation is needed-
those who do not- no explanation is possible.

HAHA! Glad to hear you are excited about the Kickstarter, Old Sgt…we are too!
All the prices will be revealed next week, but we will have some really cool stuff available between $15-50.
And, definitely save a prime spot on your BDU’s because a DDD Patch is one of the rewards we are offering!
Hmmmmmmm, so many directions this could go in…
I understand if Joe can’t catch her easily, but the dog shoulda had her by now (3 legs or not).
Waiting for the printed comic, and thanks for making Tuesdays more bearable…
It’s been our honor to help make your Tuesdays more bearable, T. Gatto. THANK YOU for reading and supporting DDD from the beginning!
We can’t wait to put a print copy in your hands!
Courtship here seems an odd affair- if that’s what it is- belt the guy in the face and challenge him to chase… sounds like the basis of a filthy limerick…
“On an island called “Gitcheejammo”,
the young ladies play a game they well know-
they belt guys in the face,
and let them give chase,
…. but make sure they run kinda slow….
… OK, that wasn’t so filthy… but I’m working on it…

If they belt you in the face right off the bat, at least you go in knowing what you’re getting yourself into.
Sweet merciful crap is that a Kickstarter I detect on radar?! Finally kickstarter is good for something, and this is entirely worth it.
Yup…there! Over the horizon, thar she blows!
It’s good to know that our campaign will finally legitimize Kickstarter. HA! I can’t wait for you to see all the cool stuff we have in store…
Thanks again for reading, speculating here in the comments, and all of your support, tkg!
