The Odyssey: Classics Illustrated No. 81 brings Homer’s legendary epic poem to life in a dynamic, full-colour comic strip format, making one of the greatest adventure stories ever told accessible and exciting for young readers.

After the fall of Troy, the clever Greek warrior Odysseus begins a perilous journey home to Ithaca—a voyage destined to last ten long years. Along the way, he faces terrifying monsters, vengeful gods, treacherous seas, and impossible temptations. From the one-eyed Cyclops Polyphemus and the enchanting Circe, to the deadly Sirens and the wrath of Poseidon, every step of Odysseus’s journey tests his courage, intelligence, and endurance.

Meanwhile, back home, his faithful wife Penelope fends off greedy suitors, while his son Telemachus searches for news of his missing father. At its heart, The Odyssey is a timeless tale of adventure, perseverance, loyalty, wit, and the enduring power of home.

This Classics Illustrated edition retells the epic through engaging illustrations and clear, accessible storytelling, offering an excellent introduction to Greek mythology and classic literature for younger readers. It is also perfect for reluctant readers and students encountering epic poetry for the first time.

First launched in 1941, the Classics Illustrated series has adapted over 200 great literary works, inspiring generations to discover the world’s most important stories. This Paperback Replica edition continues that tradition, appealing to young readers, educators, and collectors alike.

A thrilling journey across myth and legend, The Odyssey: Classics Illustrated No. 81 is a must-have gateway to one of the foundational stories of Western literature.
