This animated series was broadcast in Italy in syndication in the early 1980s under two different titles: Avventure negli abissi (that means in English Adventures in the Abyss) and Captain Fathom. This was the last Cambria Studios cartoon show to use the Syncro-Vox.
An attempt at airing a live-action version of Captain Fathom was done in 1955 starring Don Megowan, Richard H. Cutting, and Barbara Wilson.[4] The pilot wasn't purchased by a network and was never aired.
Captain Bill Fathom was captain of a submarine called the Argonaut.[5] He and his crew would have various adventures, similar to those of Clutch Cargo or Jonny Quest.
