This book was the first numbered item in the series of classic works of literature adapted to comic form. Since the subject is a classic and generally lengthy, the comic version is by necessity abridged, with the potential for some loss of significant content. In this case, the essence of the story is preserved. Like many classic works of literature, some knowledge of the historical context is helpful in understanding the backdrop.

Since the subject is a classic and generally lengthy, the comic version is by necessity abridged, with the potential for some loss of significant content. In this case, the essence of the story is preserved. Like many classic works of literature, some knowledge of the historical context is helpful in understanding the backdrop. It is set in the time of Cardinal Richelieu, or the first half of the seventeenth century. It was a time of almost constant war for the French nation, and this story reflects the conflict, with the heroes eagerly joining in the fight. It is interesting that the term “musketeer” is used to refer to a soldier that packs a musket, yet the heroes of this work are generally depicted as fighting with swords. “The Three Musketeers” is a book that nearly everyone has heard of, but only a small percentage has read. Hopefully, the publication of this comic served to generate sufficient interest so that several readers went on to read the book. I have long been of the opinion that anything that advances the process of education should be encouraged and never ridiculed. The publication and reading of educational comics like this is therefore something to be encouraged.

One can see why modern film adaptations tend to be tongue-in-cheek given the air of frivolity that permeates Dumas' novel, at least in the translation I read. The cockiness of the musketeers while amusing, such as when they insist on finishing their breakfast even as the enemy detachment advances upon their position, but does not make them sympathetic enough to the reader. Meanwhile, D'Artagnan is positively repellent: too easily offended and swift to violence: he could almost resemble the kind One can see why modern film adaptations tend to be tongue-in-cheek given the air of frivolity that permeates Dumas' novel, at least in the translation I read.

Meanwhile, D'Artagnan is positively repellent: too easily offended and swift to violence: he could almost resemble the kind of over-sensitive knife-wielding misfit of our times. Life is cheap in the France of Dumas as each eagerly-embraced brawl ends with unlamented death. then again, the musketeers inhabit a dangerous and fractious world in which their country is characterised by the barely concealed enmity of King and Cardinal whose respective armies are never far from replicating the hostility of their masters out on the streets. The Three Musketeers is accessible and fun but as such is a piece of longwinded whimsy that fails to quite pack the punch of a classic.
