Description
### Classics Illustrated No. 91 — _The Call of the Wild_ (Jack London, Gilberton, 1952)
A beautifully illustrated _Classics Illustrated_ adaptation of Jack London’s legendary adventure novel _The Call of the Wild_. First published by Gilberton Co. Inc. in 1952, this 15¢ issue follows the journey of Buck, a domesticated dog thrust into the brutal wilderness of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush.
The iconic cover art — depicting Buck howling against a mountain sunrise — captures the primal spirit of London’s story and remains one of the most admired _Classics Illustrated_ covers ever produced.
