Don’t miss the debut of MARVEL ILLUSTRATED, The House of Ideas’ new foray into classic literature, featuring an adaptation of James Fennimore Cooper’s renowned novel! Adapted by writer Roy Thomas, who’s a Marvel classic himself (AVENGERS, X-MEN, CONAN) with stunning art by Marvel newcomer Steve Kurth. Last of the Mohicans tells the seminal story of a race on the brink of disappearance due to the inexorable push of civilization into the wilderness of the New World. It’s a tale that will touch readers of every age with both its timeless realization of an important historical period and with its powerful action and adventure! This isn’t your father’s classic comics! Plus, delve into the history of the man known as Hawkeye in a special bonus story!
This is one of my favorite books by Cooper and I even enjoyed the movie with Daniel Day Lewis that was made some years ago. The movie had a fantastic sound track.
There will also be other classics, given this treatment, like “Treasure Island” and “The Man in the Iron Mask”.
