Nemo's creator (5)

I believe the answer is:

verne

'nemo's creator' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for verne that I've seen before include "Science-fiction writer" , "Jules --, French author" , "See 14 Across" , "Jules --, French writer" , "French novelist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate and the LA Times.
