Classics Illustrated

A 1990–1991 revival of the classic literary adaptation series from First Publishing, this 27-issue run brought timeless stories to a new generation of comics readers. Featuring adaptations by talents like Rick Geary, Jeffrey Busch, and Pat Boyette, the series tackled works from H. G. Wells and other literary giants with a clean, accessible visual style. While short-lived, it stands as a thoughtful, creator-driven bridge between the original 1940s–1960s run and modern graphic novel adaptations.
