Canada's Jack Lake Productions licensed the rights to Classics Illustrated from First Classics and began a new series of reprints in 2003 with the Classics Illustrated Junior line. Since then quite a few of the Juniors have been reprinted as well as several of the Classics Illustrated Special Issues and now the main Classics Illustrated series. The first reprint from the main series was #124 War of the Worlds which was issued in both perfect bound and hardcover formats in 2005. In late 2007, Jack Lake Productions began republishing the regular titles of Classics Illustrated on a regular basis. The new printings are in "regular" comic format, carry the full reorder list, and are HRN 170 through HRN 173 (so far). In short, this is the first time Classics Illustrated has been done right since the 1960s.
