The Iliad

A single-issue comic adaptation from Academic Industries, this 1984 release presents a condensed, illustrated version of Homer's ancient Greek epic, scripted by John Fago with art by E. R. Cruz. While the original poem spans decades of the Trojan War, this comic distills its core conflicts of honor, rage, and fate into a visual narrative. It stands as a notable attempt to bring classic literature to a comics-reading audience, bridging the worlds of antiquity and sequential art.
