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.
