Here you will find background information on this splendid series - how it came into being and how long it ran for and you will also be able to purchase issues via the sales catalogue. Here you will also be able to see today’s prices for those rare issues and you may well find that you wished that you had kept and cherished them all those years ago, if you once owned them. World Illustrated was a specialised publication from Classics Illustrated (see www.classicsillustrated.co.uk ) which dedicates each comic book to a particular reference subject - be it nature, history or science, for example. Here you will find a comic dedicated to the French Revolution, one to the Cossacks, one to Whales, one to Magic etc. These are in full colour and were produced in the ‘fifties and ‘sixties. They were published in the USA as The World Around Us (see www.worldaroundus.co.uk ) but, in the UK, there were eight titles not produced in the US World Around Us series as follows:

Life Beyond Earth    The Sea    Great Escapes    The Golden Horde    The Cossacks
Disasters    The Day of Fury (dedicated to the D-Day landings)    Northwest Passage

and, conversely, there were ten titles produced in the World Around Us series that were not produced in World Illustrated as follows:

Indians    Railroads    The Army    The Navy    The Marines    The Coastguard
The Air Force    Festivals    The American Presidents    The Civil War

Here you will find many of the titles for sale and all the titles produced listed (34 of them) as well as a picture gallery of every cover produced.
