If you are referencing The Time Machine, I remember reading a neat comic book version of the book when I was a kid. Sometimes I feel we are quite close to having Eloi and Murlocks evolving already.

>the gentle, childlike Eloi and the subterranean, predatory Morlocks.

Seems like a nice metaphor for the current two political parties we are provided with.

Wikipedia lists several. Do you recall which you read?

I can't find them again and I have tried. It was these little books with black and white art and it was of classic novels, Frankenstein, etc. I can still see some of the images when I think of the books. It inspired a love in me for those stories that has lasted a lifetime.

My Mom was a special ed teacher and they were in her classroom as a set. I would go read them after school. Google Gemini suggested Classics Illustrated but I don't think that is it. These were black and white and cheaper than that. Something a teacher would have in their classroom.

Edit: Upon chiding Google Gemini and reminding it that it was black and white I think it found it!

Pocket Classics Comics From 1984.

Score one for AI because google search never found those for me.

		Thank you for your effort in finding those and providing links, much appreciated. The thing that immediately jumps out at me is the awful font choice for a comic. It really makes a difference.
