I never did read the main story, but when back to to illustrations many times. I still have my original copy. Then Classics Illustrated, Mad magazine, Donald Duck adventures (amazingly there was a special high quality series on archeology) and later science fiction. The real classics came in high school and, although I read very slowly, I began to realize I was getting more out of the stories than my classmates. Sound familiar?

Well I guess we are all in there together. More than we thought. All best, Tom

This was our family!  We were raised on all this stuff - and had huge stacks of Classics Illustrated. Our daughter has rediscovered the joys of Classics Illustrated - someone brought them back and is selling them anew, but we just bought a ton of them on Ebay when we found a good deal. 

Charles Schwab said Classics Illustrated really helped him out with his English classes at Stanford.
