About the series
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, this short-lived 1950s Charlton series ran for just three issues, keeping Long John Silver and his buccaneering world alive on the newsstand. Writer Joe Gill and artists Maurice Whitman and Bill Molno delivered straightforward, swashbuckling adventure for an era that still loved a good pirate yarn. It's a modest but charming footnote in comics history, offering a glimpse of classic literary characters adapted for the Silver Age funny-book crowd.
