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.

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.

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.

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.

This rescue comes with a catch, however- the boat is not returning to port soon. If van Weyden wants to stay onboard he must become a cabin boy and do chores on the ship, while he avoids angering the murderous crew. Furthermore, if he's going to survive this trip, van Weyden must keep the crew from killing their captain, and the captain from tossing him overboard.

More than any other kind of film, it depends for its ultimate effect on the scarying of the audience by manipulating their emotions."

William K. Everson takes a look at the history of this unique, fascinating genre from the days of the silent film to The Exorcist.

1st printing.

For the first time ever, legendary photographer and videographer Clayton Patterson is the subject of a biographical graphic novel anthology. Like no other, Clayton has documented the often-overlooked people and cultural contributions of New York's Lower East Side, sometimes finding himself in perilous situations as a result. Clayton lived at the intersection of numerous underground cultures, from drag queens to punks, gangbangers to tattoo artists, an icon of an increasingly vanishing New York.

Now, in the tradition of Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, eighteen artists pay tribute to him in this graphic novel anthology.

Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 112 pages, full color.
