I bought a bunch of old ones at the comic book store last year, around five dollars each. They’re great.
I had almost all of the Classics Illustrated when I was a kid. Classics Juniors too (the fairy tales).
Positive side to those parental “restrictions”, I got into adult literature that much earlier. When my dad passed away I really wanted his collected Sherlock Holmes stories, because that got me started, struggling with the definition of every tenth word. I can’t understand young people who say they never pick up a book.
