Classics Illustrated Comic Books

I found something neat to share. My husband found some old comic books from a series called Classics Illustrated. Of course, I had to do a search online to find out more about them. They seem like a fun way to introduce children to the classics--especially reluctant readers. I found this site that has several that you can read online: http://www.tkinter.smig.net/ClassicsIllustrated/index.htm

There they have the following Classics Illustrated online comic books:

9. LES MISERABLES Victor Hugo

3. OLIVER TWIST Charles Dickens

26. FRANKENSTEIN Mary W Shelley

47. TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA Jules Verne

48. DAVID COPPERFIELD Charles Dickens

59. WUTHERING HEIGHTS Emily Bronte

76. THE PRISONER OF ZENDA Anthony Hope

95. ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Erich Maria Remarque

124. THE WAR OF THE WORLD SH G Wells

138. JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH Jules Verne

Here’s a whole list of the Classics Illustrated from the same site. Some are not politically correct anymore—at least the title isn’t. Anyway, it seems like a good start to a list of books for our homeschooling high schoolers to be aquainted with.
