Description:The Marvel Illustrated tradition of exquisitely rendered, nuanced adaptations of classic literature continues with Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island #1 (of 6). Featuring Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of buried treasure and high-adventure on the great seas, as adapted by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Mario Gully, Treasure Island follows Jim Hawkins, sole protector of the fortune hidden with his father by pirate Billy Bones. The young Hawkins must now protect the treasure from the scurvy scoundrels in Bones' crew who've decided that it's time to get rich! You can't miss Marvel's adaptation of the novel that first taught us X marks the spot, that treasure is buried on tropical islands and showed us why we need talking parrots on our shoulders!
