Complete 45-page story! " A romance-comics artist for Atlas, John Tartaglione ( 1921 - 2003 ) might not have seemed a logical choice as illustrator of two red-blooded boy´s books. Still, his interiors for G.A. Henty´s " Won by the Sword " , No. 151 ( July 1959 ), and the revision of " Tom Brown´s School Days " , No. 45 ( March 1961 ), were lively exercises, and the latter title in particular was an unqualified success. With their open-featured, plucky young heroes and delicate linework, Tartaglione´s Classics exhibited an appealing playfulness. " Won by the Sword " follows the fortunes of young Hector Campbell in the Thirty Years War and is rendered as an extended adolescent daydream, the operative mode of most Henty novels ".
