Jim Hawkins of Treasure Island is the model here for Garfield's young hero, Sam Chichester. Torn between an untrustworthy yet alluring actor and his adopted father, a crippled coachman, Sam makes mistakes but in the end comes down on the right side of the ledger. Garfield also draws on Dickens' writing for inspiration, and like Dickens, is a marvelous quick sketch at minor characters who pop to life at a few strokes of the pen.
