THE PERILOUS UNDERSEA ADVENTURES OF DELL COMICS' VOYAGE TO THE DEEP !!!

Dell Comics' Voyage to the Deep was a four issue, published quarterly, comic book series published in the early sixties. Dynamic painted covers were featured on all with incredible artwork by Sam Glanzman, some of his best. There were features included to enhance the experience (like Gold Key Comics would do.) 

Total War MARS Patrol #1

This series featured the adventures of the submarine Proteus, led by Capt. Duke Peters and Admiral Jonathan Leigh. They were pitted against an unknown and powerful sci-fi enemy. A premise very reminiscent of the early Gold Key Total War MARS Patrol comic book.

There was an interesting twist to the comic, the Proteus had a radical departure in design. It was a submarine that could automatically change shape (expand and contract) in response to the demands of its underwater surroundings.
