Classics Illustrated #83 - Jungle Book - HRN 85 ~ Gilberton, May 1951. This is painted cover original of CI #83, 15¢ cover price. HRN #85. Story by Rudyard Kipling, adapted by Ken Fitch. Cover and interior art by Alex Blum.

In my best estimation, this copy is fair/good but it presents better. Light cover wear, reorder coupon clipped, some issue numbers circled on the back cover. I'm a fairly conservative grader. As always, grading of comics is subjective so check out my scan and be sure this copy would have a home in your collection before bidding or buying.
