They have digitally sharpened up the old artwork, and re-coloured. So, I thought hey - my kids are into modern graphics, they'll laugh at these. No so!! all of them loved the books. From a 6yr old devouring the Classics Illustrated Junior, to a 12yr old whizzing through War of the Worlds. Retro maybe, but if they work for a new generation, brilliant. I'm REALLY looking forward to them 'doing' GE and WITW over here too. Found out that in the UK (and OZ I think) the whole range of CI is being republished.
