If that's true then it's truly unfortunate that another obvious reason for my choice of the Classics Illustrated cover wasn't considered; that being the intent of graphically illustrating how a timeless classic such as Moby Dick has been made accessible to all ages.

Strange, also, that a comic book is being associated with Junior High school, as my own interest in comics waned many years prior.  But, that's just me.

You make it sound like its a bad thing... I'm with "Old Ben" on this one - I read many a novel (of the abridged illustrated variety) in my youth...
