These comics were published on a wide range of classic books, including editions on the famous Charles Dickens and Mark Twain classic characters. There were editions on several other boy characters. These of course depict the boy fashions of their era in detail. Some of the individual titles were: 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' by Samuel L. Clemens/Mark Twain (1967), 'Treasure Island' by Robert Louis Stevenson (1967), ' David Copperfield' by Charles Dickens (1967). There were several more, but we do not have a complete list at this time.

Treasure Island was one of the many classic books that were done as comic books in the Classics Illustrated series. The cover comes from one of the N.C. Wyeth

images from the book. As in all Classics Illustrated editions, the comic book very closely follow the plot of the book.
The cover for the Classics Illustrated edition for the Adventures of Tom Sawyer pictures the fence white washing scene.
