ROMEO & JULIET Part 1

With the recent return of All My Children and One Life to Live...
...what else could I do except present the greatest love story of all time?
Plus, if any of you need a crash course in Shakespeare's classic for finals...here it is!
Don't you just hate when that happens?
This it not the Classics Illustrated version, but part of the Famous Authors Illustrated series that competed with CI for the "comic book adaptation of classics" market for several years.
The Famous Authors line was doing pretty well, so Classics did what any business would do when faced by a successful competitor...they eliminated the competiton by buying the company!
This particular edition, from Famous Authors Illustrated #10 (1950), was adapted by St John romance comics scribe Dana Dutch and illustrated by longtime CI contributor H C Kiefer!
Next week:
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
(Please don't give away the ending!)

And now a word from out sponsor...
