☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Classics Illustrated adaptation brings Rudyard Kipling's timeless tales of the Indian jungle to comics form, following the man-cub Mowgli as he learns the laws of the wild under the guidance of the panther Bagheera and faces the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. The volume collects the complete story in a single issue format, part of Acclaim/Valiant's 1990s revival of the classic educational comic series.
In this classic adaptation from 1997, Rudyard Kipling’s "Story One Mowgli's Brothers" brings to life the tale of a boy raised by wolves, beginning with the moment infant Mowgli is rescued from Shere Kahn by the loyal wolf Raksha. As the years pass and Raksha grows old, the pack—manipulated by the ever-present threat of Shere Kahn—turns against Mowgli, testing the bonds of loyalty and survival in the wild. Illustrated with striking detail by Alex Blum and Bill Bossert, and colored by VanHook Studios, the story unfolds with quiet tension and emotional depth. The cover, a haunting portrait by Alex Maleev, captures the moment Mowgli stands at the edge of two worlds.
Mowgli, raised by wolves after being rescued as an infant by Raksha, now faces a threat from within his own pack as they turn against him. With Shere Kahn’s influence growing, the wolves—especially as Raksha ages—begin to see Mowgli as a danger, forcing him to confront the harsh reality of belonging in a world that may never truly accept him.
