About the author (2016)

James Fenimore Cooper (15 September 1789 - 14 September 1851) was a prolific American writer of tales of the frontier well remembered for his Leatherstocking tales, including The Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder and The Deerslayer. Cartoonist STEPHEN L. ADDEO was one of the countless contributors to one of the world's most popular series releases ever, "Classics Illusrrated". Not much is known about the artist as a person - but he was behind the cartoons in a number of popular titles, just as he designed a number of covers. "Classics Illustrated" consisted of cartoon versions of famous literary classics. The Russian-born Albert Lewis Kanter (1897-1973) started releases in 1941 for Elliot Publishing - first as "Classic Comics". The first sheet contained a series version of Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers", followed by "Ivanhoe" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". The series number four, "The Last of the Mohicans" was launched on a new publisher - Gilberton Publications. And here came Stephen L. Addeo into the picture.
