That gave him idea to reduce the world's greatest literature into comic book form so that he would have an easier time reading it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not clear if this was intention but what actually happened is that school kids stopped reading the original books and read the Classic Comics instead. When I was a kid and the teacher assigned a book report, I would run out and buy the Classic Comic Book and base my report on it. Even college and university students were known to do the same thing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ishi Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47038880350448,"sku":"9784871876919","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9784871876919_p0.jpg?v=1763715338","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9784871876919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
