One of Ray Harryhausen's best motion pictures!

Dell also published Jules Verne's Mysterious Isle #1 in 1963 as a more faithful adaptation of the book (so no giant animals). Not an adaptation of the 1961 Columbia Pictures movie. In this comic the editors changed Captain Nemo, to "Captain Norman" and the Nautilus submarine, to the "Atlantis",
