World's Greatest Stories

St. John’s World’s Greatest Stories (1949–present) is a brief but charming two-issue series that adapts classic children’s literature into comic form. Writers Carlo Collodi and Lewis Carroll bring their timeless tales to the page, while artist Ellis Chambers lends a consistent visual style to these faithful, early comic-book retellings. Though short-lived, it’s a modest but noteworthy example of mid-century comic publishers turning to literary source material.
