Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Wind in the Willows!" By Kenneth Grahame. Adapted by Michel Plessix. The Deluxe line within the Classics Illustrated relaunch presents full-length adaptations, true and respectful to the originals, with the expansive number of pages allowing for the entire novel to be fully adapted. The first volume presents graphic novelist Michel Plessix's lush adaptation of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The artwork is in aquarelle, with thin, precise, detailed lines. Plessix breathes life into Mole, Rat, and Toad (of Toad Hall) as they picnic on the riverbank, indulge in Toad's latest fad, and get lost in Wild Wood. The pacing is masterful - each panel lingers just long enough to make you appreciate the simple pleasures of life as the original novel. Hardcover, 144 pages, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Tales from the Brothers Grimm!" Adapted by Mazan, Philip Petit, and Cecile Chicault. Four fascinating tales by The Brothers Grimm come alive in these bold new comics adaptations by three incredible graphic novelists. This edition of CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED features both the well-loved tales of Hansel and Gretel's trip to the Witch's Gingerbread House and the Valiant Little Tailor's thrilling encounter with Giants, as well as the lesser known tales of the Boy Who Wanted to Learn What Fear Was who stays in a haunted castle and a boy's quest to snatch the Devil's Three Golden Hairs. Over the years, many elements from the original versions of these stories have either been omitted or blandly changed. These adaptations strive to restore all of the excitement, magic, and thrills of the original classic tales, in a tasteful and thoughtful manner. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9 1/2-in., full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. "Frankenstein!" Based on the story by Mary Shelly. Adapted by Marion Mousse. Mary Shelley's original novel, "Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus" is not only a masterwork of horror, but it's also considered to be one of the earliest science fiction stories ever. Even today, its themes of man exerting god-like powers in order to create life from death remain a passionately debated topic as modern science continues its experiments with cloning, DNA, and stem cells. Marion Mousse brings the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and his tragic monster to frightening new life in this all-new comics adaptation, with dark and brooding artwork that appeals to today's fans of cutting-edge graphic novels. With the greater page length the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED DELUXE provides, so much more of the original novel is part of the adaptation, which quite possibly makes this the best comics version yet. About the Author: Marion Mousse (Adapter and Illustrator) is a French comics artist and writer whose distinct style can be seen in such works as "From Outer Space", "Fracasse", and "Moonfleet. Her gloomy and ominous work builds a distinct world for this new adaptation of Shelley's classic. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 4 - 1st printing. "The Adventures of Tom Sayer!" Based on the story by Mark Twain. Adapted by Jean David Morvan. Art by Frederique Voulyze. Tom Sawyer's adventures - including pirating on the Mississippi River, schoolyard fisticuffs, and his genius fence-painting scheme - have lost none of their appeal over a century after Twain first published his classic novel. Almost every young boy or girl fantasizes of tagging along with Tom and Huck, sharing their incredible escapades. Through Morvan's adaptation and Voulyze's art, the reader can live the fantasy of exploring the muddy banks of the Mississippi, tagging along with Tom and his friends through adventures that never grow old. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 5 - 1st printing. "Treasure Island!" Based on the story by Robert Louis Stevenson. Adapted by David Chauvel. Art by Fred Simon. Robert Louis Stevenson's riveting tale has become more and more influential over the years; serving as the basis for such popular portrayals of piracy as one-legged sailors with parrots on their shoulders, treasure maps where an "X" marks the spot, to the specific style we think of when imagining pirates speak. David Chauvel's faithful adaptation combined with Fred Simon's vibrant art truly captures the excitement experienced by readers both old and young alike that this classic has invoked for so many years. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $17.95.

Volume 6 - 1st printing. "The Three Musketeers!" Based on the story by Alexandre Dumas. Adapted by Jean David Morvan and Michel Dufranne. Art by Rubén.

This 192-page graphic novel captures far more of the original novel, keeping subtleties and scenes often omitted from other adaptations. A whole new generation is eager to cry "All for one and one for all!" Available in hardcover and softcover editions. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 192 pages, full color. Cover price $21.95.

Volume 7 - 1st printing. "Around the World in 80 Days!" Based on the story by Jules Verne. Adapted by Loïc Dauvillier. Art by Aude Soleilhac. Jules Verne's adventure story about a wager to circumvent the globe in 80 days was so popular when it was first published that it spawned several real-life copycats who tried to replicate the adventures of Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout. Artist Aude Soleilhac's vibrant and detailed work captures the numerous people and places encountered in Verne's epic tale, which still manages to elicit wonder and excitement in readers more than 125 years after it was first published. Hardcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 144 pages, full color. Cover price $17.99.
