SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Zeman’s most celebrated Jules Verne-inspired fantasy has the same handmade, engraved-illustration aesthetic and delight in turning impossible scientific adventure into tactile cinematic play.
02
Why this pick
Its live action, animation, and antique-print imagery create another buoyant voyage through impossible worlds, with the same storybook craftsmanship and mischievous sense of wonder.
03
Why this pick
A runaway Victorian airship adventure rendered with Zeman’s lovingly artificial visual tricks; it shares the playful retro-futurism and gentle, exploratory fantasy of On the Comet.
04
Why this pick
This Czech comic fantasy combines eccentric inventions, theatrical sets, and affectionate Gothic absurdity—an ideal match for the whimsical, old-fashioned imagination behind On the Comet.
05
Why this pick
Gilliam’s exuberant tall-tale voyage similarly treats fantasy as a handcrafted visual feast, filling grand adventures with absurd inventions, painterly spectacle, and cheerful unreality.
