Some of the best, most historic comic books ever created were the legendary Classics Illustrated series. Back in the 1950's this was the series that god my father into comic books and ultimately got me into them as well.
In fact I have in my collection several of those Classics Illustrated comics that he bought for 12 to 15 cents each!

So here is incredible news that combines the history of classic comics with today's greatest comics technology.

"
