History DerivativeWorks / TheThreeMusketeers

* '''''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''''' (1844) -- Where it all began. A prime example of AdaptationOverdosed[[invoked]], as it has been adapted for the screens since practically the dawn of moviemaking in a wide range of countries.

** Rochefort's promotion to TheDragon, where in the books, Milady filled the role. It is hard to find a film version in which Rochefort ''doesn't'' get killed by d'Artagnan in a climactic fight, rather than by accident during a riot in the second novel. In the novels, D'Artagnan and Rochefort became friends after dueling each other. He also has no {{eyepatch|of power}} in the books either, that trend started with Creator/ChristopherLee in the [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1973 1970s version]].

* CoolGuns: In the majority of adaptations, wheellock handguns are always the sidearms of our heroes. They very rarely use [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Mousceteor.jpg actual muskets]], for some reason.

The ''D'Artagnan Romances'', a serialized novel cycle by Creator/AlexandreDumas that includes:

* ''WesternAnimation/AlbertTheFifthMusketeer'' (1994), a French series.

* '''''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers''''' (1844) -- Where it all began. A prime example of AdaptationOverdosed[[invoked]], as it has been adapted for the big and small screens since practically the dawn of moviemaking in a wide range of countries.

* '''''The Vicomte of Bragelonne''''' (1847-1850) -- The second sequel. Pretty much all of its adaptations only retain the ManInTheIronMask subplot (for it's the most memorable part of it, and for the likely reason that the novel alone is composed of either ''three'' {{door stopper}}s or a ''massive'' {{omnibus}} -- it would give ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' a run for its money) and use either ''The Man in the Iron Mask'' or simply ''The Iron Mask'' as title.

* ''Twenty Years After'' (1845) -- The sequel to ''The Three Musketeers''. Always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to being adapted, as it likely would involve much aging makeup and underage casting. Sometimes, plot elements of it end up attached to adaptations of either of the other two novels, although some series did adapt it either through back-to-back filming or after waiting a few years.
