Jules Verne's classic which, I have to say, I could not help but think of the 80's cartoon while reading.

In case you've been living in a cave: late 19th century (1870s, I think) adventure, in which Phileas (or Willie, in the cartoon) Fogg makes a bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days - it's all there in the title! - accompanied by his valet Passepartout.

Set aside the colonialism of the time, the (sometimes) cringe-worthy racial stereotypes, and just enjoy the travel! Mind, there's no hot-air balloons involved ...

To be honest I prefer the sequel to the original I know same plot as the original but with new twists namely time travel and parallel universes. And the return of tree reliving the same day again as it didn't do so well probaly no sequel but I still liked it

I have read, (and reread) this TPB many times. Each time I find it amazing. It's full of odd humor, tragically flawed heroes, a fun subversion of the superhero genre, time travel, a smattering of steampunk, and chock full of some amazing characters. It's well written, with artwork to match. I don't know that I can describe what its about, you just have to experience it. Top marks across the board...again!
