Illustrierte Klassiker #239

This German-language entry in the long-running Illustrierte Klassiker series — "die spannendsten Geschichten der Weltliteratur" — brings Rudyard Kipling's beloved adventure Kim to the comics page. The cover sets the scene beautifully: a young boy in white clothing and a red turban perches boldly atop a great cannon, while a weathered old lama in saffron robes looks up from below — two of literature's most enduring traveling companions. It's a vivid, warmly painted image that captures the spirit of Kipling's story of youth, wisdom, and the open road across the Indian subcontinent.
