“The Scarlet Pimpernel”

A dashing nobleman dons a secret identity to rescue the innocent from the Reign of Terror, all while maintaining the façade of a foppish aristocrat. This adaptation of Baroness Orczy’s classic tale, written by Orczy and Dick Davis and brought to life by Jim Lavery’s expressive art, captures the daring intrigue of the Scarlet Pimpernel’s double life. The cover, by Henry Kiefer, sets the stage with a striking portrait of the masked hero.
