The Man in the Iron Mask

Saddleback Educational Publishing’s 2006 graphic novel adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask condenses Alexandre Dumas’s classic tale of royal intrigue and hidden identity into a single-issue comic. Created to support struggling and reluctant readers, this entry in Saddleback’s illustrated classics line uses accessible language and sequential art to bring the story of the mysterious masked prisoner and the musketeers to a new audience. While a brief adaptation, it represents Saddleback’s ongoing mission to make canonical literature visually engaging for modern students.
