Classics Illustrated #158 [O]

"The Conspirators" in Classics Illustrated #158 (1960) brings to life a gripping tale of royal intrigue during the reign of Louis XIV’s grandson, a five-year-old king whose future hangs in the balance. With writer Alexandre Dumas and Alfred Sundel crafting the story, and Gerald McCann handling both the interior art and cover, the issue unfolds with sharp political tension as the Duchess de Maine enlists the daring Raoul d'Harmental in a dangerous plot to seize power. The conspiracy’s unraveling sets a stage of suspense, where loyalty and betrayal collide in the shadow of a fragile throne.
