Here's some of what I'm talking about.  The Four Color series never had nearly the line-up of famous authors that Gilberton's Classics Illustrated had, but Dell adapted works by Johnston McCulley, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Zane Grey -- authors whom Gilberton evidently deemed unworthy of inclusion alongside Homer, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Longfellow.  Dumas did manage to get his most- or second-most-famous novel (we mustn't overlook The Three Musketeers) adapted by both Gilberton and Dell, which is somehow in keeping with the character of the man.
