About the series
From 2008 to 2014, NBM revived the spirit of classic literary adaptations with Classics Illustrated Deluxe, a 12-issue series that paired timeless stories with contemporary European comics talent. Writers like Jean David Morvan and Joe Johnson, alongside artists such as Marion Mousse and Cécile Chicault, brought fresh visual life to works by authors including Alexandre Dumas, offering a sophisticated, full-color gateway to these narratives. This series matters as a modern, creator-driven homage to the original Classics Illustrated line, proving that foundational stories can still resonate through bold, artistic reinterpretation.
