This full-color graphic novel asks the question: When does revolution become revenge?

Reeling from the collateral brutality of imperialism, Prince Dakkar, an enlightened intellectual Indian revolutionary leader, is driven from insurgency to a lifetime of uncompromising vengeance as Captain Nemo.

A familiar story, the undersea expression of Captain Nemo's vengeance has been told many times and spawned new, sometimes fanciful, chapters of what comes after Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea.

But . . .
Getting at how and why Prince Dakkar became Captain Nemo requires descending into a dark psychodrama that unfolds across the turbulent landscape of Southern Asia, caught in the rampant colonial expansion of the Victorian Age.

Enter the world of Rage Runs Deep, a timeless allegory about the undesirable but all too predictable consequences of imperialism, which fuels the dark seduction of vengeance justified as revolution.
