Kidnapped

In 1984, Academic Industries launched Kidnapped, a single-issue comic that adapts Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure novel for a younger audience. Part of the publisher’s line of educational comics, this issue distills the tale of young David Balfour’s perilous journey through the Scottish Highlands into a concise, illustrated format. While a brief entry, it represents Academic Industries’ mission to make literary classics accessible through the comic medium.
