Adaptation of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland'
First printing identified by a $0.10 cover price and the letters/numbers HRN 47
There are often multiple reprints of a Classics Illustrated publication with similar if not exactly the same front cover details
One method of identification used by the industry is the "code" HRN which means Highest Reorder Number
In the case of Alice In Wonderland, the first printing is HRN 47
Simply put, on the back cover (see image) there are 47 titles in the yellow box numbered 1 - 47
These were the other titles available to order from the publisher. The company continued to adapt classic novels in comic book form month after month which would be added to the back cover
Alice In Wonderland second printing would be described in Overstreet or an eBay listing as HRN 64 meaning 64 titles are listed on the back cover instead of 47
Third printing - HRN 85
Fourth printing - HRN 155
Fifth printing - HRN 165
Sixth printing - HRN 167
