I’m guessing the series was published in the ~1970’s. Happily for English-speakers, it was recently translated by one “Tomalakis.” So then, here’s 13 mini-chapters you can read:

    This is really great, it reminds me a bit of how in India they have Amar Chitra Katha comics to keep the traditional stories and legends alive.
