Description
### Classics Illustrated No. 29 — _The Prince and the Pauper_ (Samuel L. Clemens / Mark Twain, Gilberton, 1946)
A timeless retelling of mistaken identity and class reversal, _Classics Illustrated_ No. 29 adapts Mark Twain’s _The Prince and the Pauper_ — a moral tale of two boys who swap lives and discover the realities of privilege and poverty in Tudor England.
This 15¢ Gilberton edition features a richly detailed cover showing young Prince Edward in regal attire, a perfect visual embodiment of the story’s theme of dual identity. A classic of both literature and mid-century comic artistry.
