About the series
In 1948, Once-Upon-a-Time Press launched a single-issue comic adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, The Nightingale. The story, most frequently penned by Andersen himself, brings the beloved fable of a Chinese emperor and the enchanting songbird to the sequential art format. This brief but charming release marks an early example of literary fairy tales being translated into American comics.
