Welcome and Enjoy. I have a similar story to tell re Classics Illustrated.
Jack Abel, Stephen Addeo, Matt Baker, Dik Browne, Lou Cameron, Sid Check, L.B. Cole, Reed Crandall, George Evans, Denis Gifford, Graham Ingels, Henry C. Kiefer, Alex Blum, Everett Raymond Kinstler, Jack Kirby, Roy Krenkel, Gray Morrow, Joe Orlando, Norman Nodel, Rudolph Palais, Norman Saunders, John Severin, Joe Sinnott, Angelo Torres, Al Williamson and George Woodbridge are all listed by Wikipedia as having contributed to CI books. You will find work by all of these guys on this site. You have much to look forward to. I think Lou Cameron's images from his CI adaptations are permanently etched into my eyeballs.
