I have a confession to make. I never read Treasure Island as a kid. Actually, I haven’t read it as an adult either. Until reading the Marvel illustrated version, I had no desire.

Here’s what you need to know about Don Wood’s graphic novel, Into the Volcano: it’s really, really good. The action is really good, the adventure is really good, the characters are really good, and the ending is really good. There is even a lot of comic book swearing (of the @#$% variety), and for many […]
