Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!
This is it, Poptropicans! After parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of my pop-tastic PoptropiCon Saga comic series, I promised you an epilogue to wrap it all up with, and now it’s finally here!
…Now you have 771 pages of gut-busting graphic novel pages to read all in one spot! …At last, my 5-year PoptropiCon Saga is finally finished! YAAAAAAY!
…Wait a second… five years? Did it really take that long? …It only took me six months to draw my 136-page Dream Island graphic novel prior to that! I can’t believe my PoptropiCon Saga took me so much longer! …On second thought, yes I can. A lot has happened to me during all that time…
Hey Poptropicans! 🤗 Poptropica fan artist RainbowBrush (Tough Spinner) is back with a cool new project: a fan comic called The Mystery of the Forgotten Islands, and she’s just dropped a teaser with four full pages, along with the following synopsis. Read it below!
Poptropica is an online game that features an adventurer traveling the ocean, exploring many different islands, and helping the people on those islands with their problems. Poptropica once had a wide variety of different islands to explore ranging from traveling the Wild West, to becoming a secret agent, to solving mysteries on a train. Unfortunately in 2020, the game engine that ran Poptropica, Adobe Flash, shut down. The shutdown of Adobe Flash caused most of Poptropica’s islands to disappear.
This story takes place in the disarrayed state that Poptropica is in now. There are only a handful of islands that remain in the world. Tough Spinner, a long time adventurer, attempts to solve Poptropica’s biggest mystery. Whatever happened to the old islands of Poptropica?
The teaser is also available on Instagram and Reddit, with a promise for future updates to be posted on those platforms whenever they’re ready.

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Lucky Fish. Enjoy!
Hello! Today I’m showcasing the first wave of a little art project that I’ve started of drawing all the Poptropica islands to ever exist. I tried doing this back when I was 10, and got all the way to Pelican Rock or Home Island, but since then, my art skills have improved and I now have supplies to work with, so I decided to start fresh. Let’s take a look!
I had to draw Early Poptropica Island twice. I used alcohol markers to make these, and accidentally put too many outlines on the water-tower and the buildings, so I started over. I’m very happy with how clean this one turned out, and with how much the markers bleed, I’m surprised I was able to pull off the name of the island.
Next up is Shark Tooth Island. I kept having to erase what I had because I just couldn’t get it right. Getting the color of the sand was crazy. I had to use this green-yellow that somehow matched. The only thing I dislike about this one is the outlines of the sand, because I definitely messed that color up. But aside from all that, I’m proud of the detail I could pull off on the temple itself.
Time Tangled Island looks a little simple to me. I might fix it later, but probably not. I messed up the clock a bit, but everything else I got right, especially the logo (besides the first T).
Those are my attempts at drawing the first three Poptropica Islands. My plan is to keep making these to assemble them into one huge map. Stay tuned, and have a good day!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring, showcasing a Realm inspired by Super Mario Galaxy. Enjoy!
“You’re MINE, purple coins!”
“Go mama go!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give up!”
-GAME OVER-
“NOOOO, not again!”
“You were SO close!”
“I know! Purple comets are the WORST!”
Invisible Ring! …Are you playing Super Mario Galaxy again?
Of course! It’s one of the BEST Mario games… AND my blueprint for building my new Mario-themed Realm Tour…
That you’re LATE for! There are tourists waiting by your Starry Sky Gateway right NOW!
Oh! I forgot! …Good thing I found a magic wand to go with my Rosalina outfit. I’ll be there in a flash.
Welcome to the Comet Observatory of Poptropica Realms! It’s just below this little Gateway planet. Mama built this planet and this ENTIRE observatory out of a tiny barren rock, just like the Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy!
Thank you Luma, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Mama even built ME! And ALL the Lumas you see in this Poptropica Realm!
That’s right! The rest of the Lumas are down below in the observatory and the underground theater.
How are you gonna take the visitors down there, mama? Are you gonna use your wand again?
Not this time, Luma! There’s a red pipe right there. It can take us all down to where the tour begins.
Ok. Good luck, Mama! Good luck, intergalactic tourists!
Oh, good, you made it out of the gate! The tour begins THIS way, just across the bridge! You ready, Mama?
