DDD Kickstarter FINALE!
This is it, just 48 HOURS to go! If you haven’t yet pledged to secure your very own PRINT copy of Secret of the Beaufort Sea, time is running out. For just $15 you’ll get TWO copies of DEEP DIVE DAREDEVILS No. 1, a personalized postcard, a double-sized PDF, a FREE Submarine Patch, and if you enter the code, “DDD Dorse”, in the survey you’ll get a FREE 11 X 17 poster of last week’s pin-up, by Vince Dorse!
Whew! That was a mouth-full, and if I say so myself, a pretty dang good VALUE.
And, here’s the FINAL plug: This might be your ONLY chance to get the comic in print! We currently have no plans to sell physical copies in our store or anywhere online for quite some time, if EVER. So, if you want an EMP-proof version of DDD this is the time to BECOME a BACKER. Go to the DDD Kickstarter, and secure YOUR copy NOW!
This week also marks the start of End(s) of the Earth(s) Chapter Two, and those paying attention may have noticed a pretty noticeable UPGRADE in the artwork. When Smilton started working on chapter two he told me that he planned to change his coloring style, and as you can see the results are stunning! This page is just dripping with TEXTURE – you can almost reach out and touch the foliage surrounding Joe and Cup, am I right? And trust me, it just gets better from here. You guys/gals are in for a treat!
Speaking of a treat, be here NEXT WEEK for the BIGGEST twist in Deep Dive Daredevils history! This is not a DRILL! Seriously, make sure you have a fresh pair of pants standing by…you know, just in case.
Anyways, till next week!

Love the art. Makes the jungle feel so real. Wonderful.
The layout is great, too. The big panel gives the whole page atmosphere and, for lack of a better word, richness. The inserts give us Joe’s moment and lead on to the drama. And the whole composition leaves enough space, so that the page doesn’t appear quite as talky as the word count might suggest.
Also, nice how you avoid the maid-and-butler dialog pitfall by having Joe talk to his dog, but clearly mostly to himself, as is perfectly suitable.
Holding my breath for the big twist. Will it be external, backstory oriented, or rather internal, one of the crew not only breaking out, but literally breaking bad?
Yeah, I’m over-the-moon with the artwork Smilton is turning in for Chapter Two. I’m glad you are digging it, as well.
It’s a big change from CH1, but that’s one of the great things about webcomics…there’s built-in allowance to grow and evolve.
Whatever the heck this is it ain’t no gandy dancer- I doubt there’s a railroad here- whoever is tracking the Custer seems to be making their play…
When I was in my teens, I discussed the pros/cons of marriage with Old Man O’Brian- I commented that I had read how married men live longer than bachelors- His response was classic-
“Tis fallacy m’boy, pure fallacy- Life only SEEMS longer t’ them what’s married,”
the Old (and married for the fourth time) Sgt.
Sounds like Joe has been getting an earful from guys like you and Old Man O’Brian…no wonder the kid is getting cold feet.
HA!
My guess is that; now the guy who cooked this all up so that he could marry the princess (or in some way get to her) and take the idol, is mad that Joe is now in the way.
Is it that Volcano Engineer guy with the goggles, or someone else?
I’m betting that Joe should just try to swim the Ocean; the princess seems to be one pretty girl who is more trouble than a ship full of drunken sailors…
Thanks again for salvaging Tuesdays.
n my experience ALL pretty girls are trouble. Sometimes it’s the good kind of trouble…sometimes it ain’t.
Thanks again for being here every Tuesday, my friend!
Woke up this A.M. to a notice that my Amazon Kickstarter payment to 315 had been declined.
- After a small stroke, I determined that the card had expired in between my authorizing the payment, and the campaign ending.
- Fortunately it was an easy fix, once I figured that part out.
I would have been mortified, if it had not worked out.
A sinister shadow slinging a sledgehammer? Such shenanigans surely spell certain doom!
