Reading Room VOYAGE TO THE DEEP "Disaster Rises" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

An unnamed enemy has tilted the Earth's axis, creating tsunamis that have already destroyed most of the East Coast south of Washington DC, with the US capital and New York City soon to follow.

The nuclear sub Proteus heads towards the Mariana Trench in an attempt to counteract the threat, but it is attacked by a gigantic sea creature awakened by the catastrophe...

What the hell just happened???

This is, easily, one of the weirdest comics ever published.

The never-reprinted tale features art by talented, yet extremely-underrated Sam Glanzman (who also did the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea feature film adaptation), but the scriptwriter is unknown.

Reading Room VOYAGE TO THE DEEP "Disaster Rises" Part 1

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...

Thursday!

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...
