Originally They Were Classics Comics... Then Classics Illustrated!
However by the Spring of 1971 these novels in illustrated format ceased to be published! I was asked this because of yesterday's blog post where I blogged about the issues we picked up at the Comic Con, read, and then listed for sale. When clicking on the photo of the issue shown to go along with the blog post, a new window popped up, showing more recent issues of Classics Illustrated. If the Classics Illustrated had stopped being printed... then what were these I was asked via email?! Well there have been a few attempts to revive this format. First Publishing printed 27 issues, starting in February of 1990 and ending in June of 1991. I read a few of these, but found the artwork too modern for my tastes. Acclaim printed 62 issues, starting in February of 1997 and ending in February of 1998, somewhat flooding the market... Jack Lake Productions printed 4 issues in Canada during 2005. Marvel Comics printed a 'Marvel Classics Comics' series from 1976 to 1978 consisting of 36 issues, which were similar to Classics Illustrated... These were some of my favorites and have been popular with our buyers in the past. There have been other international editions published during and since Gilberton was publishing Classics Illustrated. So there are several issues to choose from, and in English to German to Spanish at least! BTW, We don't give out homework reading assignments here, but we do have an ongoing Comic Con and Pop Culture convention here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale!Thanks for reading this post today and please join us again for more!
