Illustrerte Klassikere Spesialnummer

A Norwegian special-issue series from Williams Forlag that ran for 11 issues between 1959 and 1966, Illustrerte Klassikere Spesialnummer adapted classic literary works into comic form. The series is most associated with the painted covers and interior art of Allen Simon and the detailed, atmospheric storytelling of George Evans, both contributing to its distinctive visual identity. It stands as a notable example of mid-century European publishing's commitment to bringing canonical literature to a comics-reading audience, bridging the gap between pulp entertainment and high culture.
