Marvel Classics 21 p46 by DINO CASTRILLO. Jules Verne’s Master of the World!

Marvel comics, 1977

The Master of the World is a 1904 science fiction novel by Jules Verne, a sequel to Robur the Conqueror, featuring the brilliant but megalomaniacal inventor Robur and his advanced, all-terrain vehicle, The Terror. The story follows a government agent, John Strock, as he pursues Robur, who uses his machine to assert his power and control over the world, leading to a thrilling chase across land, sea, and air before Robur's eventual downfall in a storm. The novel explores themes of unchecked technological power, ambition, and the potential for tyranny. - wiki

A great page from the marvel series that adapted classic literature from throughout history. I miss when comics attempted to teach as well as entertain. We can only see Superman defeat Lex, Batman lock up the Joker or Cap punch the red Skull so many times. I wish the big two attempted some adaptations along these lines. Even if it was modern literature! The hunger games? Project Hail Mary? Come on Marvel. Make it happen.
