And I'll start things off with a sentimental favorite

Yeah, focusing on Ophelia is an odd choice. But this was my introduction to my all-time favorite play of all time, so I'm willing to cut it some slack.

How is this considered an adaptation? It's all original material. More like homage

Great topic!!! I've been wanting to post this Matt Baker beauty for some time. I believe this cover, and the interior art, are his only work for Classic Comics/Classics Illustrated.

1946
.

And yes, the same cover used for the reprint series, in 1948.
