I have discovered - not for the world, but in my life - the art of
Keith Thompson. His stuff is beautiful, and one of the really cool things is that he writes a story description to go with each one. My favorite so far is the
Luxury Nautiloid:
From the description:
These extended, flared muscular hydrostats are often used to pull surface craft down into the water for the amusement of the more spiteful tourists.
Also, you will pleased to know that Captain Nemo is one of a panoply of
Hindu comic book characters. The
Comic Book Religion site can also provide for you lists of comic book characters who are agnostic, Mormon, Wiccan, Catholic, Presbyterian, etc etc. Just so you know. And have them there. At your disposal.
