Four Color #1157

Dell's adaptation of Jules Verne's adventure brings the cover tagline to vivid life: "the story of a madman who tried to destroy the armies of the world and outlaw war!" The cover, illustrated by Jack Sparling, depicts a massive, menacing airship looming over a scene of chaos — burning ships, shattered masts, and desperate figures in small boats below, all rendered in dramatic oranges and greens that capture the scale of destruction. It's a striking piece of 1961 comic art that makes Verne's grand, unsettling vision of technological terror genuinely hard to put down.
