Les Grands Classiques de la littérature en bande dessinée (lit. 'The Great Classics of Literature in Comics') is a French-language series of comic books published in 2017 and 2018 by Glénat Éditions in collaboration with Le Monde and France Bleu. It consists of 48 adaptations of literary classics. The series incorporates albums that had been made for two earlier classics series, published in 2007–2008 and 2010.

Background

The publishing house Adonis published a series in 2007–2008 titled Romans de toujours (lit. 'Novels of All Times') which consisted of French-language comic books inspired by classic novels.[1][2] In 2010, Glénat Éditions published the series Les Incontournables de la littérature en BD (lit. 'The Unmissables of Literature in Comics'), which reissued 8 of the 10 albums from the Adonis series and added 22 further titles.[1][3]

Glénat collaborated with the French newspaper Le Monde and the radio network France Bleu to publish Les Grands Classiques de la littérature en bande dessinée in 2017 and 2018. This series consists of a total of 48 albums and includes the 30 that had been part of the 2010 series.[4][5][6]

Reception

Le Parisien wrote that despite the many different authors and artists, the collection all together "is of quality".[7]
