Cover Cavalcade

I haven't read this particular comic, but if it is a faithful adaptation of one of Kipling's original stories, then it looks like it's the one in which Mowgli sets a trap to take out the tiger Shere Khan.

    This is one of three Dell Comics adaptations of Jungle Book stories published between 1953 and '55. Four-Color #487 is based on "Mowgli's Brothers" and "Kaa's Hunting", #520 (this one) is based on "Tiger! Tiger!" (the story you describe) and "Letting In the Jungle", and #620 is based on "Red Dog" and "The King's Ankus" (reversing their original chronology). The word "faithful" is *slightly* stretching things, but as "classic comic" adaptations go they're pretty good, and you should certainly check them out.

    Thanks for the information and the recommendation. I'll keep an eye out for affordable copies on Ebay.
