Crossover Cover: Nautilus

In this issue of the Australian comic book company Frew Publications' Phantoms series, the Ghost Who Walks discovers the Nautilus, which still has Captain Nemo's corpse inside it. Nemo was last seen alive and well in 1939, when he had three encounters with Navy Jones, the adventurous great-grandson of the legendary Davy Jones, as seen in three issues of the Fox series Science Comics. These 1939 exploits, incidentally, demonstrate that Nemo's alleged death in 1909 (referred to by Alan Moore in "The New Traveler's Almanac") was a falsehood. Nemo would have been 131 years old when he encountered Navy Jones, but appears much younger, presumably due to undergoing the Capellean blood-sharing ceremony when he was younger. Nemo must have finally died for real at some point between 1939 and 1988, when his ghost encountered the Ghostbusters, as seen in the comic book story "The Counter Clock Criminals."
