Classics illustrated

Κλασσικά εικονογραφημένα : Classics illustrated (in english) Classicsillustrated035

Classics Illustrated were comic book adaptations from classic literature, a series that Russian-born Albert Lewis Kanter (1897-1973) began in 1941 for Elliot Publishing.
Over the years the titles have been published by various companies, including First Comics in the early nineties, Jack Lake Productions Inc. in 2003 and most recently Papercutz, starting in late 2007.

Introduced under the title Classic Comics, the series started in October 1941, with a 64-page adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers, followed by Ivanhoe and The Count of Monte Cristo.
With the fourth issue, The Last of the Mohicans, Kanter began his own Gilberton Publications.

Between 1941 and 1962, sales totaled 200 million on Gilberton’s Classics Illustrated adaptations of great works of literature, including Don Quixote, Frankenstein, Hamlet, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Jane Eyre, Lord Jim, Macbeth, Moby-Dick, Oliver Twist, The Red Badge of Courage, Silas Marner and A Tale of Two Cities. Kanter also began several spin-offs, including The World Around Us and the 77-issue Classics Illustrated Junior with fairy tales and folk tales for younger readers.

Kanter’s last new issue was Faust (#167, August 1962), and in 1967 he sold his company to Twin Circle publisher Patrick Frawley, who brought out two more issues but mainly concentrated on foreign sales and reprinting older titles.
After four years, Twin Circle discontinued the line because of poor distribution. Classics Illustrated had many foreign editions.

The American editions had 169 titles with many specials. By the early 1970s, Classics Illustrated and Junior had been discontinued, although the Classics Illustrated branding would be used on at least one made-for-TV film, an adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

In 1990, First Comics partnered with Berkeley Publishing to acquire the rights and Classics Illustrated returned with new adaptations and a line-up of artists that included Kyle Baker, Dean Motter, Mike Ploog, P. Craig Russell, Bill Sienkiewicz, Joe Staton and Gahan Wilson.
However, First’s line lasted a little over a year.
