Har lest denne boka masse, men ikke akkurat denne versjonen. Her på Verne-rommet har de boken i mange versjoner og på mange språk. Men kun denne på engelsk. Litt gøy med tegneserie da. Elsker den historien, Elsker Verne! Den var veldig fint lagt frem i dette formatet.

Between it and 20k leagues it is the better book... It has this wondrous and naive kind of futurism to it ... His characters are anarchists or stiff upper lipped to the point of near zen mastery .. as in the case of phileas fogg. Verne throws a great deal at Fogg, and one cannot help love him for it

It’s a good adaptation. Everything is clear, had been choosing only important part and made a good graphic.
