'A monster has appeared at sea, a monster that can cross oceans and, semmingly, continents, and Pierre Aronnax thinks he knows its origins. But when he and two friends attack the monster, they discover it is actually a great underwater machine, and the real monster is its tortured captain. This adaptatin takes advantage of Verne's highly visual wonders and translates them into impressive, effortless panels of danger on, and beneath, the high seas.'
