Keywords: Deep see diving. Isolated evolution.
Synopsis: A guy and a girl dive to discover a possible
isolated evolution, following their friends message. Girl dives
too deep.
Comment: Corben's own story is short and quite average,
but tonal B&W artwork is brilliant. Reprinted color version
is okay, but not so effective. In reprinted version, last saying
is rewritten and there is Corben Studios ad in the end. Pose
of diving man with lamp in second page's last frame has a strong
influence of Den adventures.
