Review

"The idea of combining a graphic novel with pop-ups is brilliant." -Robert Sabuda

Product Description

Following the release of his spectacular Moby Dick: A Pop-Up Book, paper-crafting genius Sam Ita gives Jules Verne’s engrossing undersea story an equally unique and amazing presentation. Ita literally takes graphic novels into another dimension with breathtaking designs that pop, flaps that lift, parts that move, and art that astonishes. There’s nothing like it out on the market.
You won’t believe your eyes as you join Captain Nemo on an unforgettable adventure: submarines, sea monsters, and even the lost city of Atlantis (complete with ancient artifacts, temples, and columns) rise from the page as if emerging from the waves. Take a 3-D look inside Jules Verne’s visionary submarine; sit with the sailors at their lobster-laden table; pull a lever to move the diving gauge; and face a giant squid as its slippery tentacles attack the Nautilus and her crew.
Just as he did with his immensely popular Moby Dick, Sam Ita has concocted pure thrilling magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars 20,000 Leagues, October 30, 2008

By	Morton Friedman "pop-up papa" (Highland Park, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wonderful example of a graphic novel greatly enhanced by pop-ups. There is only one real moveable, an opening iris; a great, flailing octopus; an undulating ocean; and other fun pop-ups, from tiny rowboats to large submarines. A great addition for collectors and book lovers.

By	R. Korzeniewski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book has impressive pop-ups. The story is a little hard to follow around all the layers that fill your eyes.
