Description
### Classics Illustrated No. 86 — _Under Two Flags_ (Ouida, Gilberton, 1951)
A dramatic mid-century _Classics Illustrated_ adaptation of Ouida’s 1867 novel _Under Two Flags_, a sweeping tale of honor, love, and loyalty set amid the French Foreign Legion in Algeria. This 15¢ yellow-banner edition captures the story’s desert adventure and wartime romance through richly colored artwork typical of Gilberton’s early 1950s prints.
This vintage issue presents strong colors with minor surface and spine wear consistent with age — an appealing collectible for both _Classics Illustrated_ and historical adventure fans.
