Classics Illustrated is one of the most famous and memorable comics from the Golden Age. It was first released in 1947, following a rebrand of Classic Comics. The format was a bit different though; they released three or four issues for each particular story. Afterwards, they picked a new story and developed it. After 169 issues, the series was finally canceled, mostly due to publisher issues and television drawing readers away.
