20,000 Leagues & the Ceph Media

20,000 Leagues...the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

In Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, he wrote and Kevin O'Neil drew a very specific Nemo.

We are to believe that the story takes place sometime after the events in Jules Verne's tale, and we see a side of Nemo because of it. Nemo seems to have not been the same after his encounter with the monster of the deep and everything he has reflects that.

Ala a Where's Waldo? book, see if you can find the ceph hidden in this picture of Nemo's submarine.

20,000 Leagues...Globe

It ain't your mom's snow globe...

...and you probably don't want your eye too near it at first.

This is a Disney piece that is highly reminiscent of the Nautilus itself with the bronze look of the iron plates, rivets, and the several brass circles that the Disney Imagineers built into the hull. However, when one looks into the eye of this, they see not the tranquility of the sea, but a monstrous denizen from the deadly depths.

20,000 Leagues...Book

I love different copies of the book.

As they are often classified with children's literature (I am not quite sure why), they often have wonderfully evocative covers. Notice the swimming partner this guy has.

It's funny. People are so protective of their children, yet there are many pieces of art out there for childrens' books that are a little scary. Nacy drwe, Hardy boys and the like always had scary covers.

Personally, I think it's healthy. Kids like to be scared a little. Isn't that why we get on rollercoasters?

Here's another great kids version with a great cover.

Apparently Nemo is just hanging out with this ceph for a bit.

20,000 Leagues...Frame

Something I have listed before in my Ceph Furniture thread.

This is a Disney frame for 20,000 Leagues. I just love that it has a giant squid wrapped half way around it.

20,000 Leagues...Art

This is just a piece of art I found online.

Still, I liked it. The octo is represented as a kind of an "old man of the sea". His beard and mustache turn into tentacles as he sits and rests and plays/admires something he took from the sea's top years before and now he spies the nautilus.

Notice in the bottom left-hand corner the old fashioned dolphin as used by the submariner's in the navy today.

20,000 Leagues...Poster

Here you go, an original Disney 20,000 Leagues poster.

I love this old campy style of stuff. The floating heads, the intense looks, the kooky fonts (all shot in CinemaScope!).

Please notice our favorite ceph down in the bottom right hand...

20,000 Leagues...Book

Another children's illustrated book.

Personally, I think this ceph looks like he is half asleep.

20,000 Leagues...Disney Ride

Here is an old black and white shot from the Disnet Ride.

It lets people look eye to eye with a monsetr from the deep.

20,000 Leagues Frame-Tray-Puzzle?

I am really not sure what this is.

It was a called a frame tray puzzle on the web, but what is that. They are finding a treasure, snd typically looking a little fishy.

It's fun, but I wanted a little more.

20,000 Leagues...Nautilus

This is a nice set from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen the movie.

It is not cheap at about $100, but is a great model of the ship.
