The episodes could be broken down into five 5-minute segments in cliffhanger format. Renowned comic book artist Alex Toth was the director.[3]

This animated series was broadcast in Italy in syndication in the early '80s under 2 different titles: Avventure negli abissi (that means in English Adventures in the Abyss) and Captain Fathom.
