Romeo og Julie

In the early 1970s, Norwegian publisher Williams Forlag adapted Shakespeare's timeless tragedy into a nine-issue comic series for its Illustrerte Klassikere line, bringing the star-crossed lovers of Verona to a new audience through sequential art. This concise, illustrated retelling made the classic tale accessible to readers who might have found the original play daunting, showcasing the publisher's commitment to bringing literary works into the comic medium. Though specific creators aren't widely documented, the series stands as a notable example of European educational comics from the era, bridging high culture and popular entertainment.
