Classics Illustrated #141 [O]

"Castle Dangerous" brings to life the turbulent borderlands of 1307 Scotland in this 1957 Classics Illustrated adaptation, where the fate of Castle Douglas hangs in the balance. Written by Sir Walter Scott and illustrated by Stan Campbell, the story unfolds with the legendary Robert Bruce attempting to reclaim the fortress from English knight Sir John De Walton, using Lady Augusta—De Walton’s captured betrothed—as a key to peace. The cover by Stan Campbell captures the grim intensity of the era, perfectly framing a tale of loyalty, war, and the high stakes of a castle that earned its name through bloodshed.
