    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.
