The Three Musketeers

In 1973, Michel Lacroix created a comic-book adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s masterpiece The Three Musketeers. Published by Fernand Nathan as part of its “Les Œuvres célèbres en bande dessinée” collection, this 48-page comic strip condenses the epic adventures of d’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The story begins with d’Artagnan’s arrival in Paris, his explosive encounter with the King’s musketeers, and his quest to become one of them. True to the novel, Lacroix’s graphic style blends dynamism and historical accuracy, paying tribute to the intensity of duels, court intrigue and legendary camaraderie. A must for comic book fans and Dumas enthusiasts alike.
