Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island

4-6
Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island series.
These volumes are the first of six installments of a graphic novel version of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Though the richness of language is lost in the bland prose, the multivolume format allows for a detailed retelling of Jim Hawkins's adventures. Cartoon-panel illustrations, though crowded, effectively convey variations in mood through changes in the color palette. Review covers these Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island titles: Mutiny on the [cf4]Hispanola[cf3], Treasure Island, and Treasure Island Part 2.
