I saw this on the Web an thought it was a great idea so down to the basement I went. (Actually it took a few days to it.) Here's the inspiring post from Toy Soldiers "Made In Germany" on Facebook.

I once worked for a large Comic book mail order company. The boss decided he want a displace of every CI issue. I was given the task of find a copy or doing a color scan of the missing issue's cover. It's a huge collection but the strange thing I noticed was, I had read many of the books but many I had never heard of before. Be in school in the 1970's I had read 70% of the books covered by CI and started finding the others, it was worth the trouble. Flash forward 10 years and I showed my bookworm godchild the display and was stunned that she had only read 2 of the books. I started her on some but she didn't get into them. SO what was classic in 1940-1960 is now unknown to most of the general population, unless it was made into a movie. |

If you want to know the history of Classics Illustrated check the book noted below. It is very interesting to know how the stories got written and illustrated.
