Illustrierte Bestseller von Pelikan

A German-language comic series from Xenos Verlag, Illustrierte Bestseller von Pelikan launched in 1979 and adapted classic literature into sequential art over six issues. The series is most notably illustrated by Filipino artist Alex Niño, whose dynamic style brought Herman Melville's Moby-Dick and other stories to vivid life, with writing contributions from Irwin Shapiro. It stands as a distinctive example of European publishers adapting canonical novels into the comic medium during the late 1970s.
