Captain's Library WAR-GODS OF THE DEEP Part 1

Don't fret, Vincent Price aficionados!
Though this splash page is the only place you'll see him in this initial chapter of the movie adaptation, he'll be along in the second part...and then dominate the rest of the book!
Need We Point Out...
The film was "inspired" by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "City In the Sea", which is quoted in both the opening of the film and the comic's splash page, and the flick was marketed as part of AIP's "Poe Cycle" series.
In fact, it was released in several foreign markets, including England, as City Under the Sea!
However, unlike Richard Matheson's adaptation of The Raven, this script by Charles Bennett, Louis M (Dr Goldfoot movies) Heyward, and David (Doctor Who) Whitaker is entirely-new, with a plot and characters not in the poem
Dell's War-Gods of the Deep (1965) one-shot is actually #900 in their Movie Classics series.
