L'Ile Au Tresor

L'Ile Au Tresor

Ref: IAT (Larger cover picture!)

A rare tight clean copy with very minor bumps and shelfwear.

A fantastic opportunity to own this incredibly rare out of print adaptation by the legendary comics master Hugo Pratt. He brings all his skills to this adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure tale, Treasure Island.

The work has never been reprinted or translated into English. As usual Pratt gives you just the bare bones of the story and you see pages of his watercolour sketches featuring his research an all manner of nautical and piratical subjects from ensigns and rope knots to Blackbeard the Pirate and the design of Poop Decks and cannon.

This volume also includes a map of Treasure Island, a list of ships with their cargoes that were lost in the West Indies together with reproductions of the Player's cigarette cards that depicted the Royal Navy 1663-1805. Topping even this are several full-page reproductions from Howard Pyle's famous Book of Pirates.

This copy has very minor bumps and shelf wear a fine tight clean copy and a worthy addition to anyone's comic's library.
