Jules Verne's classic deep-sea adventure lends itself beautifully to this manga-style portrayal of the maniacal Captain Nemo and his crew aboard the Nautilus. The story begins with an international crisis?the mysterious destruction of warships, apparently by a gigantic sea monster. A team that includes Professor Pierre Aronnax, a noted marine biologist, heads out to sea to find and destroy the menace, and only after the monster destroys their own vessel does the team discover the unthinkable: the fearsome creature is a huge submarine, the invention of the reclusive and obsessive Captain Nemo, and they must thwart his fantastic plans.
