All of the others have boring back covers. I think it's the (genie's) front that provokes the most comment on this one. Redrawn for later printings, I believe.

Sqeggs Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Higher grade copies (slabbed and raw) seem to go for decent dough on Heritage. At least, I usually get outbid on them, so the dough is decenter than I'm willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBedrock Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Have any of you Classic Illustrated experts seen one of these... Sarg and damonwad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 It is listed in the promotional section of the guide as a 1951 Classics giveaway. Fairly pricey. I have never seen one before. It showed up in a low grade box of kids comics (Harveys, Charltons, Archies) that had been stashed in our backroom for a few years. Mainly wondering if it is really scarce or just flying under my radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Relatively scarce. The Foxworth Roofing and Siding variant is much desired. So cool! MrBedrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I picked up about 15 issues recently. I'm kind of partial to the Man in the Iron Mask cover. Pat Calhoun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ameri Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 With so much emphasis on pre-code horror, I'm surprised these early books are never mentioned. Perhaps because they are adaptations of novels they aren't considered part of the cycle? The covers surely qualify as horror. frozentundraguy, Turnando, Readcomix and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ameri Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 Here's the 1962 UK version of Dr. No and 1963 Showcase Comics 43. The US version changed the coloring of the characters and other edits to meet Comics Code requirements.

I thought "Classics Illustrated" was reserved only for 19th century or earlier novels, not contemporary detective fiction. A "cash-in"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman_fan Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I love the series and there are several I am trying to buy which I won't disclose at this time. Heritage had some original artwork from a few issues I really wanted but could live bid and discovered someone else wanted more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 One of my favorite collections was a Lady's Classic Illustrated collection from her childhood. She wanted $ 300 for them. The 1 was coverless, but she had most of the first 50, all in solid mid grade, all 1st prints. One of my favorites was this one. ... not the same copy.
