By William B. Jones.
From 1941 to 1971, the well-loved Classic Comics and Classics Illustrated series created abridged, comics-style versions of literary classics such as Homer’s Odyssey, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Goethe’s Faust, and Hugo’s Les Miserables. The series introduced readers to the works of Melville, Dickens, Stevenson, Twain and others. The careers and contributions of the artists are covered, and the text is supplemented by interviews and correspondence with illustrators George Evans, Gray Morrow, Lou Cameron, Norman Nodel and Rudi Palais. Over 175 photographs and illustrations (25 in color) offer a generous sample "the World’s Finest Juvenile Publication."
