Written by: Ramón de la Fuente after Mark Twain

    This adaptation by Ramón de la Fuente is based on the literary classic of the same name by Mark Twain, who, with this novel, created an early and influential work within the science fiction genre. 

  The original story recounts the adventures of Hank Morgan, a foreman at a Connecticut arms factory who, after being struck on the head, mysteriously wakes up in 6th-century England, at the legendary court of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. 

  The comic book adaptation first published in Spain in 1974 by Ediciones AFHA within the series Grandes Obras Ilustradas is highly regarded in the world of classic children’s comics. It was also published in Germany in the magazine Classicomics (1974).
