Jules Verne, Part 9

(Continued from Part 8)

Annoying, 4 out of the last 8 Sunday sections are (as of 4-1-2014) MISSING.  But I'm going to finish setting these up anyway, and hope that the rest turns up eventually.

We pick up some time after the battle with the giant squid.  It's at this point that the last half-hour or so of the 1954 feature film completely deviates from Verne's novel "20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA", and instead, utilizes the climax of a similar but entirely unrelated Verne novel, "AGAINST ALL FLAGS" !!  That's "Hollywood" for you.  They love to "mix and match".

Here we go...  20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
Adaptation by Frank Reilly  /  art by JESSE MARSH
"Our story continues..."

015  /  11-7-54
Initially I had a hi-res 2-tier color version. 
Now I've found a 3-tier B&W version, 
and have been able to add the 2 "extra" panels.

016  /  11-14-54
This was initially missing. Now I have a 3-tier B&W version.
As a bonus, here's a low-quality version in French.
017  /  11-21-54
This was initially missing. Now I have a 3-tier B&W version.
As a bonus, here's a HORRIBLE color scan from eBay!
018  /  11-28-54
I'm posting the low-res French version so you can see where the art in some panels has either been expanded for this format, or, cropped for the other format.  Who can say for sure?
Here's the English version...
