It’s Back, the comic book adaptation of one of the most famous and popular sci-fi television series of the 1960s: Irwin Allen’s Voyage to the Bottom of Sea. The first of two hardcover volumes featuring reprints of the entire series of Gold Key comic books featuring Admiral Nelson, Captain Crane, and the Seaview. In addition to the comic books, this volume also presents documentary material about the series, its designs, and special effects. The first volume reprints eight issues of the series, digitally remastered to look better than when these books first hit the stands. Featuring painted cover art by George Wilson with interior artwork by such Silver Age greats as Mike Sekowsky, Don Heck, George Tuska, and Alberto Giolitti.
