Emily Bronte (30 July 1818 - 19 December 1848) was an English novelist and poet best known for Wuthering Heights, her only novel. GEOFFREY BIGGS was born in London, England, but went through high school in America, and studied at the Grand Central School of Art. Among his teachers were Arthur Woeffle, Arshile Gorky, and Harvey Dunn. Biggs's highly detailed and realistic work was first published in Collier's, where it attracted wide attention, and was soon followed by commissions from most other periodicals, including The Saturday Evening Post, True, Liberty, Woman's Home Companion, Coronet, Pic, and Good Housekeeping, as well as from many major and minor advertising agencies in New York. In addition, Biggs found time to exhibit at the Society of Illustrators and at the Midtown Galleries in New York. Henry Carl Keifer was a prolific illustrator whose earliest published work appears to have been an adaptation of Thomas Bailey Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy in 1928 and he illustrated more than sixty different comic series between 1935 and 1955. He was best known for Wambi the Jungle Boy by Fiction House - 1940-1948. He became involved with Classics Illustrated in the early 1940s and his work is both distinctive and stimulating. There are many examples of his work throughout the CI series.
