Classics Illustrated

AN ACTION COVER COMBINES WITH A DETAILED INTERIOR TO MAKE THIS ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION OF THE CLOISTER AND THE HEARTH A DELIGHT TO READ AND COLLECT! The Classics series has been renowned for decades as one of the most impressive of all time. With over 1400 editions to choose from, collectors can make their collection whatever they want it to be - from extremely rare and valuable first editions in high grade to relatively plentiful later editions in low grade. Whatever a person wants, here it is - adventure, mystery, romance, SF, fantasy, detectives and more. Importantly, these comics are still great to read - and it is nice to be familiar with the foundations of English literature (which is what these editions represent).This particular comic is especially noteworthy because IT IS THE ONLY USA EDITION OF CI #66 THAT WAS EVER PUBLISHED. If someone wants a complete Classics collection, they need this book! Like all true first edition Classics, this comic has the ad for the next Classic in the series (the heroic SCOTTISH CHIEFS). Additionally, this book came from one of the foremost Classics collections of all time. Our consignor at one point had over 1100 separate USA Classic editions, and we are delighted that we finally convinced him to part with this key. We do not expect it to be available for very long.CONDITION is extremely nice. We have carefully counted every page and the book is complete, with superb off-white pages. The cover colors are especially deep and brilliant. Due to some minor wear visible upon careful inspection (see back cover scan), we grade it FINE/VERY FINE. SCANS: We are providing large scans so everyone can see how nice this is. Top price guide value as we write this, for those who are interested, is approximately $400.
