American/British Update: Reworking the Classics Part 1
*Classics Illustrated: We’ve always stocked a wide range of both US and UK versions of Classics Illustrated, but have not always listed all the information necessary to identify editions. Having delved into the arcane arts of Classics identification, and mindful of serious Classics collectors’ need for this information, we have now commenced to rectify this, starting with the UK versions, which are notoriously the most difficult to pin down. In addition to issue number and title, we are now listing HRN (Highest Reorder Number) together with Filled In Number, country of printing, which printing each issue is and other identification notes such as ‘line drawn cover’, ‘Australian edition’ ‘stiff cover’ etc. It’s a weird and wacky journey, but we hope you’ll bear with us as we progress this in instalments. Along the way, we’ll be adding some newly received issues to our stock. This time we’ve added all the information for issues #1-16 and added titles like #4 (Macbeth), #6 (A Tale Of Two Cities – line drawn stiff cover 1st printing), #10 (Robinson Crusoe), #13 (Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde – line drawn stiff cover 1st printing), and #15 (Uncle Tom’s Cabin – line drawn cover 1st printing). Many more instalments to come!
