He's wrong, it's Classics Illustrated.

 

"William B. Jones Jr. discussed his new book, Classics Illustrated: A Cultural History, with Illustrations (McFarland & Company, 2002), at the Library of Congress at 6 p.m., Tuesday, March 5, in James Madison Memorial Building. Part of the Center for the Book's Books and Beyond author series, the program was co-sponsored with the Library's Serial and Government Publications Division, home of the Library's complete collection of the Classics Illustrated series, and the Arkansas Center for the Book.

 

From 1941 to 1971, the well-loved yet controversial Classics Illustrated series brought abridged, comics-style versions of literary masterpieces such as Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare's Hamlet, Goethe's Faust and Victor Hugo's Les Misérables to children and adults worldwide."

gossip.gif The title started out as Classic Comics for the first 30 some odd issues, but then had a title change to Classics Illustrated for the vast majority of the run. Sounded more educational no doubt!

the speaker states that it started as Classic Comics so Trebek could have actually been on to something confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Well of course, but think about the zillions of reprints, edtions, collections, etc. and Classic Illustrated is what teh vast, vast, vast majority of books in print have on the cover.

Actually, they limit the viewing of the collection only to those who are preparing research material for a published work in progress confused-smiley-013.gif How do they determine that?
