Classics Illustrated

"Classics Illustrated" var en rad serieversioner av klassisk litteratur, utgiven först i USA, sedan även i flera andra länder.

Serien startades 1941 av ryskfödde Albert Lewis Kanter (1897–1973) vid Elliot Publishing under namnet "Classic Comics", med titeln "The Three Musketeers" av Alexandre Dumas, tätt följd av "Ivanhoe" och "The Count of Monte Cristo". Efter 34 album ändrade Kanter 1947 namnet till "Classics Illustrated". Utgivningen fortsatte ända till slutet av 1960-talet och hann omfatta 169 titlar i den amerikanska utgivningen (162 i den brittiska, varav 13 som inte fanns med i den amerikanska).

"Classics Illustrated" utgavs i många länder, däribland Sverige.

1990 gjordes ett kortlivat försök att återuppliva serien. Flera av de ursprungliga albumen har återutgivits i olika omgångar.
