A significant expansion of the critically acclaimed first edition,
Classics Illustrated: A Cultural History, Second Edition, carries
the story of the Kanter family’s series of comics-style
adaptations of literary masterpieces from 1941 into the 21st
century. This book features additional material on the 70-year
history of Classics Illustrated and the careers and contributions
of such artists as Alex A. Blum, Lou Cameron, George Evans, Henry
C. Kiefer, Gray Morrow, Rudolph Palais, and Louis Zansky. New
chapters cover the recent Jack Lake and Papercutz revivals of the
series, the evolution of Classics collecting, and the unsung role
of William Kanter in advancing the fortunes of his father
Albert’s worldwide enterprise. Enhancing the lively account of
the growth of “the World’s Finest Juvenile Publication” are
new interviews and correspondence with editor Helene Lecar,
publicist Eleanor Lidofsky, artist Mort Künstler, and the
founder’s grandson John “Buzz” Kanter. Detailed appendices
provide artist attributions, issue contents and, for the principal
Classics Illustrated–related series, a listing of each printing
identified by month, year, and highest reorder number. New U.S.,
Canadian and British series have been added. More than 300
illustrations—most of them new to this edition—include
photographs of artists and production staff, comic-book covers and
interiors, and a substantial number of original cover paintings and
line drawings.
