DOWN TO A NEW HEIGHT IN ADVENTURE -- DELL COMICS' AROUND THE WORLD UNDER THE SEA !!!



The Fate of the World Depends Upon How Long Their Courage Lasts!

Dell Comics' Movie Classic #30 Around the World Under the Sea was based on the motion picture by the same name, written by Paul S. Newman with artwork by Jack (The Dirty Dozen) Sparling. The terrific painted movie poster by Frank McCarthy was used as the cover.

Submersible Hydronaut!
The crew of a five-man submarine, the Hydronaut, travels the world oceans, planting sensors on the ocean floor to warn scientists of any impending earthquakes. The movie starred Lloyd Bridges, with Marshall Thompson, Shirley Eaton, Gary Merrill, and David McCallum.

I watched this movie on DVD again recently and can truly say that I still enjoy it. It's suspenseful, has a great cast of stars and interesting characters and shows an incredible undersea world few people can experience. The picture is fabulous!


 

Around the World Under the Sea showcased Jack Sparling's finest art, nailing the likenesses of the characters throughout the comic. This is one of my favorite comic books. Terrific cover, fabulous artwork and  faithful to the magnificent motion picture. 


  
Around the World Under the Sea is available on DVD. There is some beautiful cinematography in this Ivan Tors movie and the DVD shows it off well.


Do yourself a favor and try it out.

 


Live Large My Friends!

Thank You!
