Pitch
A smart girl finds a map to the Isle of 100,000 Graves: a place where her father probably went
lost, and that hides a famed treasure. She convinces a bunch of pirates to bring her there – but
the island is (ironically) up to its name.
Summary
Gwenny finds a treasure map inside a bottle on the beach. Would it be of the same island her
father sailed to – and got lost?
A hooded boy is dumping tens of bottled treasure island maps in the sea, just as usual. Why?
In the attempt to find out her father’s destiny, the girl fools a crew of pirates into bring her to the
Isle of 100,000 Graves and its supposed great treasure.
There, the crew discovers that the island really hides something unique: a torturers’ academy.
And they are getting off board just in time for the practical exams.
Key points
-
An adventure in the key of Robert L. Stevenson’s Treasure Island, with
a dark humour twist.
The unmistakable, deadpan drawing style of Jason, for the first time serving
somebody else’s story.
