### Classics Illustrated No. 97 — _King Solomon’s Mines_ (H. Rider Haggard, Gilberton, 1952)
An adventurous vintage _Classics Illustrated_ issue, this No. 97 features H. Rider Haggard’s legendary tale _King Solomon’s Mines_.

The dramatic cover illustration shows a hunter facing down a charging elephant — a dynamic depiction of the raw, untamed world that made Haggard’s story an enduring classic of exploration fiction.
