Can anyone provide info on the "Classics Illustrated" series of which this film was a part? I saw the entire movie on YouTube and the beginning mentions the "Classics" series. When was the series on, what were some of the other episodes, etc. I was born the week before "The Time Machine" aired so I had never seen it nor any of the other movies. Please help. Thanks

I didn't even know that this film was connected to the Classics Illustrated (my favorite old comics)! Let alone that it be a series of films(?)
But when viewing part of it on YouTube, it looks a lot different than my Classics Illustrated version of The Time Machine. The hero wears a moustache (not in the comic), and his apparatus looks more like a Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica mini-ship than the machine with the atom symbol look in my comic book.
On YouTube the titles mention that 'Classics Illustrated' (movies) is 'created by Charles E. Sellier and James L. Conway'. IMDB states that in the 1970s and 1980s both produced famous titles like Last Of The Mohicans, The Deerslayer, The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, etc. Those are the titles that compare with the Classics Illustrated comics.
