Abstract
This forty-eight page comic book looks a great deal like Classics Illustrated Junior, and that would not be a bad translation anyway of mikra klassika eikonographemena. I am afraid that I am mostly baffled by what I find inside this comic book. It seems to be a biographical narrative, but there is not much help from the pictures to identify it with the known histories of Aesop's life, and my ancient Greek does not go a long way towards understanding the modern slang Greek. (Still, I am presuming that Cha, cha, is roughly our Ha, ha! I would have said that Aesopic fables are among the most concrete literature we have, but this comic baffles me with its lack of concrete objects in its pictures! I do find a statue of Hermes, a dog, and some coins. Have we arrived at Delphi on 43? The finale is a major conflagration. Was Aesop, thrown from the cliff by the Delphians, swept up in fire?
