DESCRIPTION:
Often funny steampunk spoof Jules Verne and H. G. Wells would be proud. Imitation is best flattery. Would like to see animated (with less gore) version. I enjoyed some of comments of evil squid god and "heroic" professor.. The year is 1881 A Customer "and moon is slowly revolving to reveal it's darkly hidden face.

Racing around the world, and against the clock, Prof. Einstein and Lord Carstairs battle the fanatical legions of Squid God worshi

Lovecraft, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and just about everything else from the golden glory days of
