From Booklist:
Knowing something about Verne and his classic 20,000 Leagues under the Sea will help readers get the most from this graphic novel "prequel that leads up to Verne's writing of his masterpiece." Here, Verne is a tortured author whose jottings for what he's sure will be his masterpiece are interspersed among his imaginings and the oddly fascinating stories of "ravishing" Princess Mikah, searching for her lost father; an orphan boy who brings Verne a strange package; and an artist whose bizarre creations spring from his nightmares. Riviere's vision is a moody, compelling, dreamlike one, well represented and extended by the artwork. The full-page pictures and comic-book panels pull readers into the story. Their dark, brilliantly rich colors viscerally evoke the stream of events and the troubled spirits of the strange characters, who exist in a weird visual realm where reality and imagination and Verne and his creation Nemo seem to merge.
