The Call of the Wild

Though it launched with only a single issue in 1984, The Call of the Wild from Academic Industries adapts Jack London's classic novel into a comic format, bringing the iconic story of Buck the dog to a new generation of readers. The series is a notable example of the publisher's line of literary adaptations, offering a condensed, visual take on London's tale of survival and primal instinct in the Yukon. While brief in its run, it represents a specific era of educational and accessible comic-book publishing.
