The Prince and the Pauper

In 1978, Pendulum Press adapted Mark Twain’s classic tale of switched identities into a single-issue comic, with writer John Norwood Fago translating Samuel Clemens’s original story into a graphic format. Illustrated by E. R. Cruz, this edition is part of a line that brought literary works to young readers through sequential art. Though a brief release, it stands as a tidy, accessible introduction to the timeless story of a prince and a poor boy trading lives.
