For the last 9 solid months, I've been working on a massive POE blog project, attemption to assemble every comics adaptation of a POE story ever done in one place in chronological order.
Several of these have been variations of "CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED".
One I found out about recently (thanks to another fan, whose main obsession is "CLASSICS" comics) is MONDIAL AVENTURES #29 / 1959, published by Society Parisinne d'Edition in France. The story adapted is "LES AVENTURES DE SIR ARTHUR GORDON PYM". The story is 48 pages long, with art by Willy & Yves Groux.
Oddly enough, due to delays with the French publisher, the story actually wound up being printed in Brazil before it was in France, in ALBUM GIGANTE #39 / Jan'58, from Editora Brasil-America (EBAL).
I've set up a "place-holder" page at my blog, as I don't have the comic yet, only scans of the covers...

Can anybody help with scans?
At the moment, my finances are in such bad shape, that so far, I've only wound up BUYING 2 comics for this entire project-- KING CLASSICS #14 (1977 / Editora Bruguera / Spain), and MARVEL CLASSICS COMICS #28 (May'77 / Marvel). All the rest has been assembled from scans found online or supplied by other fans!
If anyone out there collects Classic Illustrated from the '40s
in Golden Age Comic Books

When Gilberton closed up, the void was filled by several other publishers. Perhaps most notable-- yet also most obscure in the US-- if Editora Bruguera in Spain. Their JOYAS LITERARIAS JUVENILES series-- all new, all different, all MADE IN SPAIN, ran 269 issues!!!
Here's more info, and, a COMPLETE list of the entire run!!!
