“Mysterious Island”

About this Collection

This volume adapts Jules Verne's classic adventure novel, following a group of castaways who must use their ingenuity to survive on a remote Pacific island. The story explores themes of resilience and discovery, presented in the signature comic-strip format of the Classics Illustrated series. This edition was published by Acclaim/Valiant as part of their 1990s revival of the line.

A classic tale reimagined in comic form, Mysterious Island follows five men who flee Richmond, Virginia, during the Civil War by hot-air balloon—only to crash-land on a remote, uncharted island. With Jules Verne’s original story adapted by Manning Stokes and brought to life through dynamic art by David Heames and Robert Webb, this 1997 issue offers a vivid, page-turning journey into the unknown. The cover, by Richard Case, captures the mystery of the island’s hidden dangers.
