Copyright query

I’m hoping to one day produce comic versions of Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath. Would this only become a copyright issue if I made any money off the comics?
For example, if I just posted them as a webcomic and stated in a disclaimer that the story wasn’t mine, would that be acceptable, or would that be breaking copyright?
Help?

I’m almost 100% sure it would. You can however make a remake of it but you have to change names and the plot a bit.

Actually, I think a number of Steinbeck’s books are back in the Public Domain, meaning you can build off of them after all.

webcomic wise it seems to be a case of wait until you get a cease and desist
