Poor Jules Verne. All he wanted to do was tell scientifically plausible tales about great explorations and new technologies. Then HG Wells steps in with his fanciful time machines and alien invasions. What happens when their imaginary technologies face off?

This is just one of Kate Beaton‘s many historical comics, which chronicle the events in the lives of historical figures (albeit with great artistic liberties). This is her second Jules Verne comic; the first co-stars Edgar Allan Poe. And she’s also taken on the unhappy life of Mary Shelley.
