I've really enjoyed all of Willumsen's releases including one shots like in Ex-Mag, but I've never been able to read Treasure Island. The tumblr account where it was all posted has since deleted that content and it's unsearchable via the way back machine internet archive. Does anyone have a source or news on a reprint?
There are copies of #2 and #3 on Ebay for $80, but that seems a little steep. What do folks think, are they worth it?

I have no inside intel on a reprint or if it's abandoned or what, I would say though... I do think the printing's not the best. One color risograph in green ink. I borrowed the first two issues from a friend before interviewing Connor back in the day and then bought myself a copy of issue three a few years ago. It's interesting in a "I wonder where he's going with this" way but in the absence of both an ending and the initial issue to decode the origins, I don't think it would be worth paying big bucks for issues 2 and 3 personally.

I think that's the right intuition and I'd probably be better off leaving it be until it's collected or put back online. For $80 there's plenty else I'd rather get into. Thanks! |

oh man it's so good, highly recommend tracking these down. i've read them all several times and they keep "opening up" more each time, i think there's a lot of meat on that bone. i dm'd with him briefly last year and he said he was working on #4 but no news on it coming out that i've seen. but it's such high quality work that i'd be surprised if no one ended up printing the full collection. might be years from now tho.
