L'Appel de la Forêt #[nn]

Fred Simon's adaptation of Jack London's The Call of the Wild opens with a cover that perfectly captures the story's frozen soul — a spirited sled dog bounds toward us through a snowy wilderness, ears back and collar gleaming, while a distant musher and team disappear into the tree line behind him. Published by Delcourt under their Ex Libris imprint in 2010, this French-language graphic novel promises a visually elegant retelling of one of adventure literature's most enduring tales. If you have a soft spot for wide white landscapes and the untamed spirit of the North, this one is hard to resist.
