Four Color #624

Dell's "Movie Classic" line brought Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling tale to comics readers in 1955 with this handsome adaptation. The cover centers on a determined young boy in a wide-brimmed hat gazing upward, with a tall-masted sailing ship anchored off a tropical island in the background — perfectly capturing the spirit of adventure that defines the story. With script work by Paul S. Newman and art by John Ushler, it's a fine ten-cent package for fans of high-seas excitement.
