Illustrated Classics #13 with the comic adaptation of The Iliad by Homer. The comic book is in good used condition.

The comic series Illustrated Classics was published in German by Bildschriftenverlag (BSV) from 1956 to 1972 and ran to 205 issues. It was the German version of the American Classics Illustrated - classics of world literature presented in comic form. The artists were often above average, many of the source novels were adapted very well into the comic medium, and for many young readers it was their first contact with literary classics. On the back of the comics (or on the last page of the issue), the available and reorderable issue numbers were listed. Based on this highest listed number (or HLN), the print run of the comics can be determined, as they were often reprinted several times due to strong demand. It is clear that collectors today are mainly interested in first editions.
