Four Color #684

In "Helen of Troy," Trojan Prince Paris arrives in Sparta with peace in mind, only to uncover a hidden war plan against his homeland. When he flees with Queen Helen—reluctant wife of King Menelaus—the Spartans launch a full-scale siege on Troy, culminating in the infamous ruse of the wooden horse. Written by Paul S. Newman and illustrated with dynamic precision by John Buscema, this 1956 Four Color adventure captures the myth’s pivotal moment with timeless storytelling. The cover by John Duffy perfectly frames the tale’s dramatic tension.
