'Fifteen men on the dead man's chest - Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!' With this sinister snatch of piratical song echoing along the English coast, the mysterious Billy Bones ushers young Jim Hawkins into an undreamed - of world of danger and adventure on the far-flung, mist-shrouded Treasure Island. And over it all looms the towering shadow of the most famous corsair of them all - the ever-scheming, intriguing, and enigmatic Long John Silver.Robert Louis Stevenson's novel of 18th-century buccaneers in search of a buried fortune in gold and jewels has thrilled and entertained readers for more than a century.

It resounds with names that have become bywords for non-stop high adventure: the pirates Billy Bones and Ben Gunn and Silver himself, Treasure Island and Skeleton Island and Spy-glass Peak, and the ominous 'black spot' that foretells a violent death! And the excitement is all here, in words and pictures of vibrant color - skillfully adapted by award-winning writer Roy Thomas and artist Mario Gully.

This title collects "Marvel Illustrated: Treasure Island", numbered 1-6.
