Illustrated by
William O'Connor.
Verne's iconic tale of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus is here illustrated with detailed pen-and-ink spot art and occasional full-color spreads of dramatic moments. The text has a Victorian stuffiness that's hard to follow, but the engaging artwork and sepia pages imitating the texture of old paper fully exploit the steampunk aesthetic of the work's groundbreaking author.
