Classics Illustrated comic reprints going strong

Jack Lake Productions has already reprinted 52 of the famed Classic Illustrated and Classic Illustrated Jr. comic book adaptations of literary works and plans at least a dozen more over the next year, ICv2 reports.

Up next are Swiss Family Robinson, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Black Beauty, and Treasure Island.

We asked Jarve how the company was choosing which titles to reprint. He said that they have access to the print runs from the original editions and can base some of their decisions on the popularity of the original releases. But input from schools and libraries, which are growing in importance to the company, are also considered. For example, Jarve said that the company will issue more Shakespeare titles in 2009, based on the response from that channel.


You can order the reprints from Amazon.
