Description
### Classics Illustrated No. 82 — _The Master of Ballantrae_ (Robert Louis Stevenson, Gilberton, 1960s 25¢ Edition)
A mid-century _Classics Illustrated_ comic featuring Robert Louis Stevenson’s _The Master of Ballantrae_, a tale of rivalry, adventure, and betrayal between two Scottish brothers during the Jacobite uprising. This later Gilberton 25¢ issue retains the iconic yellow banner and features a striking illustrated cover of the titular character in traditional tartan with a castle backdrop.
This adaptation captures Stevenson’s tension-filled narrative through dynamic mid-century comic art and remains one of the more atmospheric _Classics Illustrated_ covers of the 1960s reprints.
