Experience the brave dog Buck’s classic adventure through the wilderness, reimagined in a graphic novel format perfect for readers 10+!

Buck is a 4-year-old shepherd living a pampered life as an estate dog in California. But his life changes forever when he is suddenly kidnapped and sold into service during the Klondike gold rush. Made to haul heavy sleds through the deep snow fields, he realizes that in order to survive in the wild of the Yukon, he’ll need to discover and reconnect with the primordial instincts of his ancestry.

Jack London's The Call of the Wild is a masterpiece in both its style, which set a standard for generations to come, and for its genre, raising adventure writing to the level of classic literature. Perfectly blending the original language of the novel with breathtaking, full-color artwork, this striking illustrated edition reinvents Buck’s journey as a story for all ages—equal parts exciting and entertaining as it is intelligent and thought provoking.

This edition is one of more than 85 titles Campfire Graphic Novels has published since their introduction to North America in 2010. Featuring gorgeous, sophisticated artwork and lush production values, Campfire Graphic Novels publishes a wide array of distinctive stories ranging from innovative renditions of Western literature’s most beloved classics to vibrant and gripping histories.
"A top-notch graphic adaptation of one of my favorite classic novels. This graphic version is amazingly true to the novel. It evokes the same emotions and is as powerful a story as the novel. I can not think of anything that has been left out. . . . The illustrations are highly detailed with full backgrounds, using artistic devises and a pleasure to behold."

"Sachin Nagar’s art brilliantly captures the cold openness of the Alaskan landscape, vividly and beautifully. In fact, it’s hard to overstate it: The art here is simply breathtaking." -- John Hogan, Graphicnovelreporter.com


"I highly recommend Campfire’s comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in  a way that excites kids about classic literature."

— Chris Wilson, The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians)
