Description
### Classics Illustrated No. 125 — _The Ox-Bow Incident_ (Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Gilberton, 1955)
A striking vintage issue from the _Classics Illustrated_ series, this 15¢ adaptation of _The Ox-Bow Incident_ captures the moral tension and Western grit of Walter Van Tilburg Clark’s 1940 novel. The cover depicts a powerful scene under the looming shadow of a noose — a visual echo of the story’s haunting exploration of justice, mob mentality, and conscience in the Old West.
Published by Gilberton Co. Inc. in the mid-1950s, this issue remains a sought-after title among collectors for its bold artwork and adaptation of one of America’s most enduring Western novels.
