The Return of Classics Illustrated!        

The Return of Classics Illustrated

Classics Illustrated hold a very special place in the hearts of many people.

And at laterlife we couldn't be happier in playing our part in bringing you the wonderful news that, following a sorry absence of nearly 40 years....

...Classics Illustrated are back!

As an introduction for children to classic works of literature they excelled in bringing classic stories to life with simplified but engaging storylines and captivating illustrations. The images brought colour and vigour to accompany the enduring quality of the stories themselves.

I can still remember reading the Count of Monte Cristo issue for the first time and being enthralled, then seeking out the full version of Dumas' timeless classic. I personally credit Classics Illustrated with instilling a love of reading and great literature that has remained with me my entire life.

Now you can offer the same enchantment to your younger relatives (of whatever age) with subscription offers available to both the original Classics Illustrated series, covering great works of fiction and aimed at ages 8-14, and the new Classics Illustrated Junior series, covering greatly loved fairy tales and folk stories.

All the illustrations have been digitally enhanced and recoloured to give a fresh feel to the original highly acclaimed drawings, appealing to today’s audience. Each issue is published with heavy inner paper within a laminated cover and with a spine to create a comic that has virtually a book format which is very durable (which is a very handy feature as anyone whose original comics went through the hands of more than than one generation can attest!).
