#Book collector editions of classics series#
This series is different from the Great Illustrated Classics, which is an adaptation of the classics for young readers that includes illustrations, but is not in the comic book form. Since then, the Classics Illustrated brand has been used to create new comic book adaptations. Following the series' demise, various companies reprinted its titles. Created by Albert Kanter, the series began publication in 1941 and finished its first run in 1969, producing 169 issues.

They also have an annotated version of Dracula that I haven't read yet.Three Musketeers, issue #1, Classic Comics, published in 1941.įrawley Corporation (Twin Circle) (1967–1971) They apparently also print books with fancy covers that lack the annotations, so if you're going to go with Penguin, pay attention to which version you're getting. The copy I got from my library was a nice hardcover with a ribbon bookmark, and I thought it was well-annotated. The only version of Wuthering Heights I've read is Penguin Classics. If The New Annotated Dracula is the same level of quality, then it's worth it. My only (very small) complaint was that I felt there was too much emphasis on the "psychoanalytic interpretation" (I think that's the right term)-basically a bunch of Freudian bullshit that's only relevant because that was a big thing in literary analysis during the 20th century. A lot of annotations highlighting the differences between the 18 versions, comparisons to the original manuscript that show which parts were edited by Percy Shelley, explanation about the parallels between the book and Mary Shelley's life, etc.
I haven't read Leslie Klinger's The New Annotated Dracula yet, but his The New Annotated Frankenstein was absolutely amazing. It seems very informative with a lot of background, but is it a lot of filler content? I don’t always buy annotated editions but it could be interesting. “The New Annotated Dracula” with Leslie S. The “great horror and fantasy collection boxed set” kind of just looks cool as a set and I don’t own any of the other books in it. I have another book in this collection and think it’s beautiful! But again it’s just the cover that’s unique. The seasons edition with the laser-cut jacket. It’s illustrations of pretty flowers, like all of the other books in this series, so I’m not sure. I think this is gorgeous but to me it doesn’t really reflect the mood of this novel if that makes sense. The Marjolein Bastin illustrated edition. I have a different book in this collection and find them cute if not a little simple. These are what I’m debating so far for both: If anyone has any suggestions for the upcoming classics, especially if you already own them and can share any details about the edition, please let me know! I like to buy pretty editions of classics that I know I’ll keep on my shelves or re-read.
