Legendary Comics

A reader points out that there are some terrific comic books out there put out, it seems, in the ’80s that cover various Polish legends. These include, the story of Krak and Wanda, of Popiel and finally of Piast the Wheelwright.

These stories came out in Polish but with side-by-side translations in (depending on the version) English, German, Russian and French.

This is the beginning of the story of “The Wawel Dragon and Queen Wanda”:

And here we have “König Popiel und die Mäuse”:

And finally, we have “Piast le Charron”:

The series apparently continued with more historical tales of “Mieszko I and His Son Boleslaw the Brave,” that is, Chrobry, of “Boleslaw the Wrymouthed” and “Wladyslaw the Short.”
