A significant expansion of the critically acclaimed first edition, Classics Illustrated: A Cultural History, 2d ed., carries the story of the Kanter family's series of comics-style adaptations of literary masterpieces from 1941 into the 21st century. This book features additional material on the 70-year history of Classics Illustrated and the careers and contributions of such artists as Alex A. Blum, Lou Cameron, George Evans, Henry C. Kiefer, Gray Morrow, Rudolph Palais, and Louis Zansky. New chapters cover the recent Jack Lake and Papercutz revivals of the series, the evolution of Classics collecting, and the unsung role of William Kanter in advancing the fortunes of his father Albert's worldwide enterprise. Enhancing the lively account of the growth of "the World's Finest Juvenile Publication" are new interviews and correspondence with editor Helene Lecar, publicist Eleanor Lidofsky, artist Mort K�nstler, and the founder's grandson John "Buzz" Kanter. Detailed appendices provide artist attributions, issue contents and, for the principal Classics Illustrated-related series, a listing of each printing identified by month, year, and highest reorder number. New U.S., Canadian and British series have been added. More than 300 illustrations--most of them new to this edition--include photographs of artists and production staff, comic-book covers and interiors, and a substantial number of original cover paintings and line drawings.

Young d’Artagnan has only one ambition – to be a king’s musketeer some day. With these dreams, he reaches Paris. Monsieur de Treville makes him a member of the king’s guards, and promises that if he proves his worth he can become a musketeer one day. In Paris, d’Artagnan befriends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, the three musketeers; and also falls in love with the beautiful Constance Bonacieux, Queen Anne’s linen maid. But little does he know that Queen Anne would soon fall into trouble with her husband, King Louise XIII, because of her secret lover – which is what the cardinal wants. With Constance begging him to help, and the wicked cardinal and his men chasing him, will d’Artagnan be able to save the queen’s honour? Will he ever fulfill his dream of being a musketeer?
