After publishing the comics adaptation of the movie Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea...
...Dell Comics planned to do an ongoing comic series.
However, they lost the license for reasons unknown and decided to rework the existing material into a new, similar, series...
The saga continues...
Art for Dell's Voyage to the Bottom of the Deep #1 (1962) is by Sam Glanzman, who also did the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea movie adaptation, but the scriptwriter is unknown.
There are a lot of similarities in characters and tech between this series and the VttBotS movie.
(The TV series wouldn't debut for another two years...)

But the submarine being able to adapt its' shape as needed was something 1960s special effects couldn't handle so it was considered a defining characteristic to avoid questions of copyright infringement.
They also eliminated the big bay "windows" in the nose of the sub, moving them to the conning tower, just to be safe...
