FLEETWAY COMICS ARCHIVES THE THREE MUSKETEERS

Collected in a single volume for the first time, this classic of comic strip adaptation brings to life all the action and poignancy of Alexandre Dumas' novel and its sequel (the enthralling mystery surrounding the Man in the Iron Mask). All by artist Arturo del Castillo, one of the greatest masters of the comic strip. These originally appeared in the British comics Film Fun and Lion in the early 1960s. This is the first time they have ever been reprinted complete. The quality of del Castillo's pen work is simply stunning on these strips. Also included here are 14 pages of original del Castillo artwork. Del Castillo's artistic skill is recognized internationally and his great artistry on "The Three Musketeers," "The Man in the Iron Mask," and "The King's Musketeers" (all included here) is regarded as some of the finest pen and ink work ever created for comic strips. The Three Musketeers are amongst the handful of literary characters who are known to virtually every person on the planet! Unlike most literary characters, the Musketeers are fashioned out of history: there really was a d'Artagnan and historical counterparts for each of his companions, although the romance woven around the characters came from author Alexandre Dumas's imagination.
